Open Source Mac Game Programming Competition

Geert Poels writes "The uDevGame Mac Game Programming Contest was established by iDevGames in 2001 to energize game development on the Apple Macintosh platform. With the 2002 edition launched only two weeks ago, already 42 games have entered the competition. Most notable about this competition isn't the impressive collection of prizes worth $11,000 but rather the obligation for all participants to submit all source code. This kind of competition is groundbreaking for the Mac community in every way."

What a coincidence

I just saw this link [drunkgamers.com] from NTK [ntk.net]. Parody of some Apple advert or something aparently.

I think somebody should port Solitare and FreeCell to Mac. FreeCell already got the name figure out -- or would that be OpenFreeCell? FreeFreeCell? hmm...

but anyway. I swear Jobs can increase Apple's market share by 300% if he included Solitare with it. I mean, a windows machine usually spend 50% of its useable life on that program.

Considering that you think 44k-66k is good money for a developer, I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say you aren't from California.

So if it's open source...

So if it's open source, can I just take one of the entries already submitted, enhance it a little bit, and resubmit it?

Right....

So WC3, RTCW, Unreal, UT, Q3, Civilization, Max Payne, Deus Ex, Jedi Outcast, those aren't games. No those are decoration. The real games are on PC, you know, like WC3, RTCW, Unreal, UT, Q3, Civilization, Max Payne, Deus Ex, Jedi Outcast. Oh wait a minute, those are the same games... whoops
