GDUK I phoned up gduk people today to let them know id changed address and got some info (which I didnt even ask about really!) which might interest others... 1st round has been judged, 2nd round is being judged a week friday (the 19th) and the results should go up on the next week on the web site. Those who did get through though are likely to be contacted by phone and/or email. Judges are made up from a few companies; cant remember them all but eidos were mentioned and some others. Award ceremony - in a castle in scotland on the 5th november (thursday). All companies will be present + some reporters from Edge magazine. DEMO COMPO James, why give us a deadline that is two months away? why not just tell us 2 weeks before the deadline, seeing as that is when we do the code anyway :) SOURCE CODE I come back for a week to find some new thread started by T Khan regarding 'why give out source code'. I thought up a huge response, then thought, why bother? Im 99% certain hes a figment of a sony employee's imagination, but that 1% gives me a a worry. Ill sum up what I was going to say - 'there is not one person who has done a single thing on the yaroze that is not 10 _years_ behind professional developers. Thats not to say people have not put in a lot of work, nor got unplayable results, BUT anyone who hides code from each other here is a damn fool. There is no reason to do it. btw, _anyone_ can use my source code for free, except for T Khan who is now banned. That means that you aren't allowed to work on "your" program that you asked people to debug a while ago, seeing as 80% was lifted (= copied) from my program, and the other 20% off someone else. There, I shortened it loads... CODING COLLABORATION um, I dont think Im the best coder on here at all by a long way, but I am enthusiastic. Why no real responses concerning working with me? Am I that scary? or are people either apathetic or working on their own? oh well, such is life AIDING WITH CODE Stupidly I said Id still try and help people code even without a yaroze, but it may be harder than I thought, so um, Ill see what I can do. My brother should be getting a Yaroze soon, but according to the contract, Im not allowed to use it! HOLIDAY yes thanks, I had a lovely holiday. Cheered me up no end :) Rob
