Scripting Contest: Custom Menu System
February 2nd, 2009 - March 30th, 2009
Submission Deadline extended to The Ides of March (15th)
Scripting Contest Information
Every eight weeks, .ORG will be hosting a new scripting contest. The goal of this contest is to allow new and upcoming scripters a chance to showcase their work but more importantly, be judged by experienced scripters and given suggestions based upon their coding. Judges will base their scoring based on the guidelines provided below. Additionally, for every contest we will have a member vote that can score each contestant with a few bonus points.
Contest Theme: Custom Menu System
For this contest, you will be designing a custom menu system for either RMXP and/or RMVX. You may choose any layout or design you wish. You may be creative as possible, but remember, our key goal here is learning and improving our coding. A basic menu system that is properly formatted and organized may score better than a menu system that is flashy and coded poorly. Remember what you are going to be scored on.
Submissions
Once your script is complete, you are to create a unencrypted demo for your script. Please zip your demo and PM me your demo. We will encrypt your project when we add it to the member poll so your work may stay confidential.
Timeline
February 2nd, 2009 - March 1st, 2009: Contest topic is created. Members have this time to complete their scripts and submit it to the contest. We will not take late submissions. The final date to submit your work is March 1st, 2009 (I will give a few hours for the time zone difference, but don't take advantage of it).
March 1st, 2009 - March 30th, 2009: During the first week of this contest, we will organize the member poll with all the submissions that met the requirements listed in the Contest Theme description. The poll will stay open until March 22nd, 2009. During this time, our judges will be reviewing and scoring each submission. On the final week, we will be totaling scores and announcing the winner and working on the next contest. The winner will be announced no later than March 30th, 2009.
