Would anyone be interested in having a Corona SDK Weekend Challenge?

General (non-technical) Off-Topic
#1

I threw up a new post on my blog up here: http://igaret.com/events/possible-corona-sdk-weekend-competition with the possible idea of hosting a Corona SDK weekend challenge.

Would anyone be interested in having one? If I can get enough developers to want to join I’ll do all the work in setting it up, all you’ll have to do is make a mini game in one weekend :wink: It’ll be to benefit the community aswell, as I think the source code to all the competitors (or at least the ones with finished-working code) should be uploaded on this site as sample projects.
What do you guys think? [import]uid: 9033 topic_id: 24070 reply_id: 324070[/import]

Oh! This sounds fun! I’m on:) Just tell me wich weekend(hope this wont be this week, since my graphicguy is gounded and cant use his comp). I think there should be a theme aswell, so people cant be “prepared” with a pre-coded app.

Yes! That’s what I plan, which is why I said “The details behind the challenge are going to be kept secret until it’s official” in the post x] Go check the blog post if you haven’t already and cast votes in the polls, I’d like to know what prizes and such you guys would like.

It won’t be this weekend, but I plan to do it sometime this month (hopefully) [import]uid: 9033 topic_id: 24070 reply_id: 97110[/import]

Peach Pellan ran on back in February.

The community seems to like them, but I’m not sure how often is too often. You can see what all she did for her challenge at the link above.

Oh allright, I’m a bit tired so thats probobly why i missed that sentence :wink: Hmmm… a price?
I dont know what’s a good price. Is there any sponsors or something like that? Otherwise a “price list” would be nice. Where the 1-3 top coders could choose their price. The winner should choose first.
hmm… a free Website setup mabye (some of us is in need of that but are not able to pay on the internet). Hmm… a year of corona license?(thats may be to expensive:P).

But a price is not the most important thing :wink:

This seems like a fun idea - I think the main difference between this and the 48 Hour Challenge would be the amount of work involved :wink:

The Techority 48 Hour Challenge is yearly because it’s a biggish event and takes a ridiculous amount of time to set up, get sponsors for, judge, etc. and I think a more laid back one would be very cool.

I’d be up for participating in this if I had the time one weekend although I’m not sure if staff would be eligible ^-^; [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 24070 reply_id: 97265[/import]
