1st DCEmulation Programming Contest
I am proud to announce the first DCEmulation Programming Contest.
In an effort to kickstart original homebrew development and to unify the scene, we are conducting a programming contest open to any developer.
The Submission:
You have 6 weeks from Mon Apr 1 to work on and submit a completely homebrew DC only project. This project must be your own work, and utilize whatever tools you desire. The submission can be a game or utility and must be at least 51% your own work, not a simple port to the DC. You do not have to provide source, but you need to provide some method of identifying it as your work ( a header file, some value embedded in the binary readable with strings, etc.) The submission must be free and be allowed to reside on any DC related website. Any submissions that violate another's copyright/work/etc will be removed from the competition at our discretion.
The Judging:
After the submission period is over, initial voting will be conducted by the moderators of this site (and others if desired) to determine the finalists. This period will take up to 2 weeks. After the finalists have been decided, voting will be open to all members of this site to determine the winner. This voting period will remain for a length of one week. The winner will be announced and their prize will be provided.
Your submission will be judged on:
Originality
Graphics/Sound
Usability
Fun/Coolness factor
The Prize:
The only prize we currently have is:
A Sega Dreamcast Broadband Adapter
Other prizes are being looked into, but are not guaranteed.
The Caveats:
The final decision in all matters is in the hands of the DCEmu staff. I am actually providing the BBA and have every intention of making it available to the winner. If you don't like these rules, tough.
A forum will be created for any questions/discussions. Submission addresses will be provided at a date closer to the deadline.

If you think typing 'make' is hard, forget coding.
If you can't figure out the commands to DC-Tool, forget coding.
If you think coding is as easy as typing printf("Hello World\n"); , shoot yourself.
