Scratch

What would happen with the prizes if two or more people collaborated on a game and won?

Hmm... that's a good question. I don't know...

Well, the one that submitted gets it, and probably splits it.

No. I'm not good with games.

Not good? You can practice a lot, the prize is $50,000 dollars, I believe.

If I'm correct though, it says:

A pool of $50,000 in prizes

So the cost/value of all of the prizes that will be given is equal to $50,000  .

Obama is challenging kids to create an educational video game, with big prizes! We can use any game design platform including Scratch!

Are you going to enter?

Wow, this looks awesome!  Thanks for pointing it out

I don't think you have to worry about that.  They gave a list of sponsors on the website like Microsoft, AMD, etc.  Those are the folks that are paying for it. 

Also, the $50,000 is the total value of all prizes...there isn't an individual prize of that amount.  Reading from the website, they mention things like laptops, software and so on.  Still, it looks like a lot of fun and a great opportunity for Scratchers!

I'd tend to agree there, but I think Obama's only supporting it.

Oh.    Yeah I might try something.

Know what's funny. None of you guys will win.

I'm still not sure it has to be educational, in fact, I'm almost positive it doesn't have to be educational.

Too bad I've got the "Squeak is low on memory" error again, so I can't do Gods Quest 3.

You can download Scratch again, Gods Quest 3 would totally win you money. Gods Quest 1&2 were some of the best projects on Scratch I've ever seen, and I've been here since '07.

Sunrise, check out the collaboration forum

Someone who has flash could make a better game

That's true, but I'm hoping they take into account how powerful the program is. Also, you could make a simple, but addictive game...

They said that you have to be able to download it for free and you can play it in the browser.

Congrats on stickied!

But ours could have a more original idea.
