Judging always seems to feature beer and we all know it takes hand eye co-ordination to fly a plane.

Nice that you mentioned the addictive qualities of FlyingGuns....   :-/

I guess that just goes without saying?

In all seriousness...make the **** thing 100% webstart, not 50% webstart! I swear you'll get many more players. We know j3d is a dead and miserable tech, so how many of us want to install the darned thing? Don't give us the choice...just do it behind our backs .

(if the stumbling block is Sun not having a webstart-extension JAR for j3d, then put one together and JGF can host it - I'll then get all the other j3d games using that same JAR, and you'll all benefit from reduced download times).

£10 says that all of the judges had a massive stroke and forgot who to make/judge games.

God forbid, DP

The winners announcement should appear here every minute ....

I thought our games had a good chance of placing - after all they are fun, polished and great games.  Of course, they are not 3D, so that may be a knock against them.

However, as far as I can tell, they have not yet been installed and played (I can track this because activation requires a quick connection to my server).  Given that they have to announce the winner this week, I am quickly losing hope that they will be judged.  It's a shame, but there isn't much one can do about it.  If Sun does another contest, hopefully they can allocate more time and craft a better submission system.

Herk is clearly an optimist...

[DanK]

Should be announced tomorrow as I understand it, course some might think I'm being an optimist now. I'm looking forward to seeing what games got picked, and of course I wish you all the worst of luck (bah, I need a new comp worse than you hehe, I'm about 2 years overdue for an upgrade).

Maybe the link http://games-contest.dev.java.net/ should be made accessible again ... after removing all the uploaded files.

[Herkules]

ah, the link from JavaGaming to the contest has been removed at least.

If anybody still wants to lookup the original conditions, I found this:
