You have to have started the project after the beginning of the contest.
No one can check that. One might use a large library of ready-made types/functions -made in the past few years- so that creating a game is almost like RAD. Just take Grey Alien's game framework kit, that's been a lot of work, what if someone makes a game with it these next 6 weeks? So, the definition of 'the project' is vague. Is it *all* the code there is in the project (inclding libs), or is it only the RAD code, or perhaps the scripts?
It's all a bit in contradiction with this rule:
- It is allowed to use libraries, DLLs and codes which are not your own.
Those libs/dll's were no doubt started/finished before this compo started.
Btw, it nowhere states one has to submit the source/media -except that odd sprite/particle rule-, is it possible to cheat by *not* using a Blitz version to make the product?
