Contest rules
  1. The contest has theese rounds: school, district, region, national, international. School and international rounds will always be organized, other rounds will depend on the number of registered projects.

  2. The best program in each category of a given round progresses to the next round.

  3. The contest projects can cover any subject (for example: games, education, story etc.) except the "bloody/war" one.

  4. The contest project can be created in the latest version of SGP Tools only (Baltie 3, Baltie 4 C#). Please check the version of SGP tool before uploading your project file on the contest web.

  5. All voices and texts (menu, help, documentation, source code comments etc.) must be in english languague.

  6. The contestants and all their co-authors must have their SGP Account created. (They apply for the contest by their UID.)

  7. The contestant can apply for the contest just one project.

  8. Author of the contest project can be an individual or a team (max. 5 member). The age of the oldest team member is decisive for category classification.

  9. The authors of the contest project/project guarantees the novelty of their work. All files (images, music, sounds, texts etc.) can by only one's own (own photographs, own drawing, own music record) or those supplied with SGP Tools. No other files, modified or taken over, can be used, even if they are free to use, that mean whole contest project must consist of author work of an individual or a team! The author's obligation is to state all co-authors! E.g. when parents or siblings have recorded something for the contestant, they become automatically the co-authors and their age is desicive for category classification.

  10. If any unacknowledged help to the contestant will be found out, he/she will be disqualified and expelled for good from SGP contests.

We suggest you that after uploading you download the archive to a different folder, or better different computer, extract the content and check whether is all right and no file is missing (a common fault).

    Warning!
    We will evaluate only those projects, to those we will have all necessary files including source codes. In such no case we will be unable to evalute your project which will be excluded from the contest!

    We do not accept ANY standalone executable program files (even renamed in any way)! It means that all executable files must be able to be created any time using the SGP tools.

    The program must run from any folder, so for example in the LoadScene commands use solely the "*\\" as the source folder specification (the "*\\" means folder with your program (source code). E.g.: LoadScene("*\\GAME1.S01"); Never use the full path to the file.

    In the Baltie's File table, use "Game1.wav" or "*\\Game1.wav" elsewhere, never use the full path to the file like "C:\MyGames\Game1.wav". Of course you can use the "Game1\Game1.wav" if your Game1.wav file is located in subfolder Game1 in your program folder.
