So is anyone here entering? (or even have something ready to show off already?)
I'm thinking about it, but I have questions, and can't seem to register at gamebuilder
The rules say you have to submit just a single .mfa with no other external files.
Do you think it's okay to generate external files at runtime?
And what is this supposed to mean?
"Your frames will only interact with events contained within each of it’s own frame event editor"
I don't know if they ever specifically said anything about generating external files, but I'd bet you 100 DC points it's not allowed. I would guess the second thing is just a reiteration of the "no global events" "no scripting" "no circumventing the rules to get more code in" thing.
You can't generate external files at runtime. That's against the rules. The second thing means just what OMC said, that it won't use global events, no scripting, stuff like that. Now that I think about it, I'd like some more clarification on that as well.

Actually, it is not against the rules to generate an external file. The rule is that you must only submit one mfa file, but if it generates a file at runtime that is perfectly fine. Of course, you won't be able to get the 5 point bonus though, since java and flash don't support this.
I'm not going to be taking it too seriously, so I don't really care if I miss out on a few bonus points - just as long as it isn't disqualified altogether.
I'm not sure what the problem is with Gamebuilder. I registered, and my username and email both seem to be in the system - but for some reason I never got the email with a password, so I can't login. I've tried the "send new password" / "forgotten your password" forms, but I still don't get the emails (and I've checked in my junk folder). I don't know any of the admins to ask for help.
