Coders Ahoy, there's a competition ahead - Ballistic Blasters

   Yes, be very afraid, it's time to crown a new programming idol for 2007. So forget school, exams, work or your other half for a few months and let's get down to what's really important - who is the best game programmer? This year successful programmers/designers will:

 

   
• Develop a totally ballistic (over the top) shoot-em-up game
• Design their game to incorporate a particular thematic setting
• Build their project within the time allocated!
• Be humble in victory while juggling three chainsaws and a rabbit!

So if that sounds like you, and you have enough courage, grit and determination for yet another competition, then apply within.

Half Way Already ?

    Yes,  believe it or not but  this week end approximately represents the half way point in the competition.  While there's a few serious (fairly ambitious) entries taking shape,  but we'd love to see more.
