Because there was some confusion around my previous post, here is a more detailed description of the way this MiniLD will take place.

At the start of the competition (which will be anounced soon enough) i post the name of the main theme, and a list of themes, that the competitors can select from. A competitor selects one theme from that list and writes it’s name next to it.

The competitors then creates a new game from the main theme, and the theme he selected from the list. The game doesn’t have a menu, insteed it should just have a simple start screen with brief instructions.

After 48 hours the competition end. Each submited entry for MiniLD#6 is then taken, and loaded into a framework which I will create. The entries are then run inside the framework, like levels of a game.

For now, the platform of interest will be windows. If it will be possible to port all the entries to linux and mac, then hopefully there would also be a version for those platforms.

In a nut shell: you get two themse, create a simple game, I take that game and stick it together with other entries, creating on bigger game.

I hope this is clearer than before. 😀
