[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Q1 - Yes, I know of 2 people working on something, they will share the prize

Q2 - Yes, I don't see why not, as long as the application is new, and freeware?

Maybe it will persuade someone to finally make some science applications  :)

I second that!!

Seriously though, thanks to whoever came up with (and funded) this stroke of genius...

What are the rules about the following:

1) Do the apps need to be signed?

2) What about updates to the uploaded applications, ie bug fixes etc?

3) Does the application have to be free for other users to download & use?

cheers.

1) Do the apps need to be signed?

No. This would put the competition out of reach of the majority of members. If they ARE signed however, this may well be taken into account in the judging process.

2) What about updates to the uploaded applications, ie bug fixes etc?

Your entry will be judged on it's state at the time of judging.

3) Does the application have to be free for other users to download & use?

Yes, the application must be freeware, and available for the whole community to download and use.

Cheers! :)

I have created a freeware chess game based on .NET Compact Framework.  

The first version was released in March for PocketPCs and desktop computers, the second version (beta) was released in September - it supports Smartphone 2003.

The official release of second version will be in the following weeks.

Am I still eligible for the contest, considering there is no official Smartphone version yet?

See the details at http://www.valil.com/chess2/smph.html

Thank you

This doesnt seem to run on SmartPhone 2002, isn't it? It would have been so nice if it does.

[Guest maxh2003]

I don't think viliescu's chess program could ever run on Smartphone 2002, because it relies on the Microsoft .NET (Compact) Framework, which isn't available for SP2002 and possibly never will be :cry:

But you *can* buy Orneta Chess for just $4.44 at Handango...!
