That's it for the first edition of the One Buck Challenge! 1 hour late sorry, had diner for Father's day!

Me and the other judges will look at the entries and post back the result here in a couple of days. Stay tuned for the winner and details about the next competition!

Thank you all for your interest in this competition! (I always wanted to create a game dev contest )

Yeah the comp ends tomorrow night

I still have to decide if the next one starts right after this one or I wait for a week or two before starting the other one.

Note that the next comp will be shorter, like 1 week and will have a less restrictive (more creative) single rule

More details to come after this competition.

Id like to know all that stuff But I dont so I keep thinking the ball I throw falls because of all the little people in it failing to fly it properly.. Naaahh just kidding, naaah im serious.

I'd like to see Apple answer to that considering that they're strongly supporting HTML5/JS applications/games since they hate Flash.

In Quebec we have what we call CEGEP (College), which is usually mandatory before University.

After the eleventh year at school (5th Secondary year in High School), most people go to College in prevision of going at University. But maybe half of them stop after College with a technical training in a specific field, computer science, mechanical design, etc.. Most advanced studies in College like biology, chemistry or mathematics won't be that useful if you don't plan to go to University.

Currently, Quebec high schools have a drop out rate of near 40% for boys. Which is pretty high. Those boys will later try to do private studies in car mechanics or welding which usually don't require you to have completed high school.

I don't know much about Exams and things like that since I didn't go to University but I know that we use a credits system in both College and University.

I plan to go back to University to get a Bachelor in computer science (90 credits) or just a certificate (30 credits), since I'm 26 and haven't been in school in the past 5 years. I can be admitted as an Adult candidate and only pass math and french test before starting the official program.

I find that pretty nice when you want to see how the real world works before choosing a career.

Thats a good idea actually haha!

Note that judges have a great sense of humor

By the way only 4 days until the end.

Judges will most probably be:

Myself - Lead Game Tester

Jeff - Level Designer on Prince of Persia / Assassin's Creed

Pascal - Game Producer of Mobile and Web Casual games

Flying scisors.. really man?!

Nah seriously thats nice and pretty hard, the only way I found to not die is to SPOILER!! Nah I'll let you guys find out

That is so logic I didn't even think about that.

Fact is that it's always gonna be a problem when doing html5 games for mobiles when you want to support iPhone and iPad, and the future iTable and iWall.. C2 or not. I'm gonna dig a little on other html5 developer forum and keep you posted

It seems to work fine.

Tips: Don't forget to set the objects' position to windowWidth / 2 and windowHeight / 2 otherwise sprites will stretch outside the screen.

It solves most problems but I don't think the same game would look good on iPhone 3 at 320x480 and on iPhone4 at 640x920, everything will look quite stretched, specially if you have pixel art.

I dont know much about the iPhone, you mean that you had to save the link as a shortcut on the homescreen to be able to see it fullscreen ?

When in fullscreen mode, do you still have a bar at the top of the screen ? Like an address bar or something. If not, I know iPhone resolution are more like 640x920.

So I guess to support both 480x800 (most android powered phone) and iPhone, we would have to make to version with a script that links to the proper build depending on the running OS.

Thanks a lot iRoNgHosT!

Could anybody with a smartphone try please ?

Its supposed to be fullscreen (layout is 480x800) green and white clouds background with a red border and a square that you can place anywhere by touching the background.

If you try it please specify which phone you have

Thank yoooouuuuuu!
