Howdy folks!
It’s that time of the year again for our annual 5KB code-driven competition!
We’re back this time with Flex User Group Philippines and IGDA Manila and aside from Flash, we’re adding Flex, HTML, JavaScript & CSS to the mix and renaming it to the Philippine 5KB Web Challenge! (… or at least that’s what we’re calling it for now… What’s a catchier name to call it… Ph5KB?)
ABOUT
This yearly contest is inspired by the following:
Anyway, onto the…
SUBMISSION RULES
- Create something code-driven and entertaining with source files not exceeding 5KB (5120 bytes) total.
- Submissions may be in the following formats:
- .FLAs + AS1/AS2/AS3 code, whether inline or external
- Flex MXML submissions to be used with the stock Flex SDK. Additional libraries will count towards the 5KB limit
- AS3 code to be run on http://wonderfl.net or in Flash Builder/FlashDevelop MXMLC projects
- HTML + JavaScript + CSS. Total of all files must not exceed 5kb
- .SWCs are *not* allowed.
- Your submission MUST properly run on the latest non-beta versions of ALL the following browsers:
Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, Apple Safari. No need to get it running on Microsoft Internet Explorer because Windows XP users are stuck with IE8.
- All entries will be made downloadable by everyone to check out, so they must be submitted under an open-source license. You retain all rights to your submissions.
- For tagging, all submissions must contain “2011 Phlashers.com 5KB Challenge” somewhere in the code which *will* count towards the 5KB limit. Remember that your entries will be spread through the net freely for download, so feel free to leave your name & other dstinguishing comments on your submissions because your submissions must be self-explanatory. Any accompanying “readme.txt” or the like will count towards your 5kb.
- All entries must be in by Tuesday, December 27, 2011 at 11:59pm Philippine Time (GMT +8). That’s an entire week. Demoscene and Ludum Dare participants only get one weekend.
We will be shortly posting where to send your submissions. Check again within the next 2 days. Meanwhile, get cracking!
JUDGING
Your entry will be judged on:
- Output aesthetics, creativity, originality and PURE AWESOMENESS.
- Judging will also be *heavily* influenced by code aesthetics, readibility, witty variable/function names and comments. Nobody likes boring code. ASCII art is encouraged!
Our panel of judges will be announced in the coming days.
PRIZES
We will be having 2 grand prizes of one original Adobe CS5.5 Premium Suite for each grand prize winner. If at least 20 students join the contest, we will allocate one of these grand prizes for a separate student category to even the playing field. By student, we mean college undergraduates and younger. Grad School & PhD candidates fall under the “Professionals” category.
We’re currently looking for additional people/groups willing to sponsor prizes, but currently, we do have some original Steam game licenses to give away to finalists.
Feel free to work in teams, but note that it is up to you to decide how to split up your prize as the Adobe Premium Suite license cannot be split up into their component products. Same with the Steam gift licenses. Feel free to submit multiple entries, but note that you may win only once.
ELIGIBILITY
- You must be a member of one of the following Adobe user groups (sign up by clicking on the appropriate links)
- You must either be a Filipino Citizen, a Filipino living abroad or be of Filipino descent. You must also submit to a wacky Skype conference in Filipino if the previous are in doubt.
That’s basically it for now. Check this blog post daily as we’ll be updating it with more details.
