Now that's a bit negative, now. Anyone here has the potential to win if they work hard and are dedicated to the contest.

Hmm, according to the rules, it says that a computer-based game has to be "made using any game creation platform that offers a free version". Unless I'm misunderstanding the rules, I'm not sure if Flash counts here; I can't even think of a Flash file creator that's offered for free (even Stencyl is not really "free" since it'd only being released as a beta for those willing to test it  ).

I didn't see that

Wait, doesn't Stencyl run with Flash?

To my understanding [and forgive if I'm wrong, Stencyl users], Stencyl allows for files to be exported into Flash files.

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.

Thanks 

I redownloaded Scratch on a different computer and actually managed to figure out the problem. Scratch (or at least my version), can't import .png images anymore.

This is actually good news, it just means I won't be able to use shyguy-kingdom but that's not a big deal.

So then make Gods Quest 3 
SM, check out collab.

Okay, let's clarify the platform issue right now. 

To my understanding of the contest rules, one of the requirements for the contest is that the game has to be created on a platform that is offered for free. Gamemaker, Gamestar Mechanic, and Scratch are listed as examples - so my guess is that users are not limited to using them. Something like Starlogo TNG or Alice could also be considered since they are also offered for free.

I have a question about entering: would you link to the uploaded project, or give a file as your submission?

I'm not sure, it doesn't say on the website (maybe they don't have all the rules up yet). My guess is that you have to sign up to get notices about the contest by e-mail.

I would think about it, but I'm only in 3rd grade.

Yeah, unfortunately, you have to be in middle school to enter  . I'm almost in highschool, so this will be my only year I can enter  .

I believe international schools operated by the [U.S.] Department of Defense are also allowed to enter the contest. So, not necessarily living in America, but rather, students who attend American-based schools. 

Cool! If I were still on mid school, I'd enter. Unfortunately, I'm 3 years too old. It's kind of odd that they don't have a contest for high schoolers. It just skips from 8th grade to 18...
