I don't know if I'm in, in terms of actually putting in a submission for this contest, but we're all kind of in the discussion stage at the moment so who knows.

So the basic idea is it's gotta be a racing game, and it's got to have a space/alien/non-human theme. Unless someone has a better idea.

Is there going to be any restriction on whether it is 3D or 2D? What about whether Max2D is used or direct OpenGL? Or any other 2D/3D engine?

And what about the idea of not having any media? Does everyone agree to that? You have to create all your graphics at runtime - there mustn't be any loading of files, even sound effects, title screens, player ships etc?

Is there any requirement of how big it has to be, like say it has to have at least 2 levels, or has to have at least 10 minutes of gameplay?
