Every month OpenNETCF hosts a coding competition for Mobile & Embedded developers. At the end of the month, a panel of judges will decide which entry was the best and we'll award the author of that entry a prize.
October's Theme:
Got Game?
(click here to view this months files)
You're daily commute on public transport is, as usual, dull, dull and even more dull.
You're tired of counting how many people on the train have iPods. You only wish you had some awesome games to
play on your fantastic Windows Mobile device... So why not write one? It could be an old classic like Space Invaders or a mind-bending puzzle like Sudoku. The choice is entirely up to you! Flex your game developing
muscles and show us some awesome graphics and gameplay!
"Gee," you say. "I don't write code in C# or VB.NET, but I'd sure love to get in on some of this swag!" No problem! While OpenNETCF is known for our managed code work, we understand that not everyone uses it, and the Community site is for all Windows CE and Windows Mobile developers So if you have a game written in C, C++, Flash, Shockwave, Java, NSBasic, FORTRAN, Forth or whatever, feel free to submit it. The only requirement is that what you provide must be easily runnable by the judges. We're not going to go search for some obscure runtime or compiler so we can judge your app. You must provide everything necessary to run the app with your submission.
October's Prize
This month we're giving away prizes to the overall winner as well as 2nd place and 3 lucky runner-up places:
How to Enter
To enter the competition, you will need to zip up your Visual Studio solution (do not include the bin and obj folders) and upload it
here. Also, include a README.txt in the zip file. This README file should include a title and description of the project and your email address so that we can contact you. Please use the same title and description when uploading the zip file.

- Entrant must be legally allowed to put the work into the public domain (that means no entering code you did for your employer unless they have explicitly approved such action)
