Program something w3d!

This is the first in a series of competitions being run by MP-Gaming. This first competition is aimed at programmers, but before I start explaining, I'd like to let our Special guest announcer introduce the competition. Please click on the link below for the audio file to begin playing.

Introduction

How kick-*** was that?!

The competition officially starts today, and I will stop accepting submissions on Nov 17th, with the announcement of who won to be expected on Nov 24th.

The competition is pretty flexible, the idea being you have to submit a piece of software/application/plugin/tool etc that's been designed for the w3d engine. This could range from tools designed for the game, to adding extra functionality to the game itself.

As you can see, you're able to get pretty creative and go almost anywhere you want with your submission. The idea can be as far outside the box as you like, but it has to be based around the w3d engine.

The winner of the competition will have the most creative, most useful and most practical submission. These are the qualities it's being judged on.

The rules:

No cheat will be accepted.

The submission must not contain malicious code.

The submission must include the source code with an understanding that it will be released as open source software (unless there is a high chance of the code being used for malicious purposes).

The submission can include open source code, but must contain a significant amount of your own contribution.

The submission must not already be previously released or in the public domain already.

You must be willing to submit your name and address if you win (this will be treated confidentially).

You must include a picture or movie demostrating the software.

The submission can be written in any language.

You can submit more than one piece of software to include a higher chance of winning.

To enter, please post your submission here.

Updates, pictures, movies and other WIP's are very encouraged, so please post as you go so we can all watch the progress!

Now for something to be a competition, surely it must contain a prize? Have no fear, as my friend Havok already mentioned, there are prizes to be won! There are Two places, 1st and 2nd.

1st place prizes:

Three Command & Conquer Renegade styled mouse pads

One Command & Conquer styled drinking mug

One new and sealed copy of "The First Decade"

19 SRA3 professionaly printed Command & Conquer styled posters

One autographed picture of Jo "Kane" Kucan (that's right, not only does Havok endorse the compeition, but the messiah has also rubber stamped his authority over this!).

2nd place prizes:

19 SRA3 professionaly printed Command & Conquer styled posters

One new and sealed copy of Command & Conquer Renegade

One autographed picture of Jo "Kane" Kucan

Check out the pictures below to take a look at the prizes!
