The Microsoft run contest, Dream Build Play, is back for another round.
http://www.dreambuildplay.com/main/default.aspx
I entered last year, with a pretty crappy entry. Hopefully Ill enter again with a not as crappy entry. What about you guys? Is it time to move onto some more complicated languages and make the big bucks?


I wish I had access to board 17.

If I had the time, I would most certainly give it a try. Looks interesting though. Nice find.

Edit: Ooooh, its due July-August... I might sign up later.

Edit: Oh snap again! You need a 360 to even test/debug it.... dratz. I was hoping I could dev it on some virtual 360 thing, then test it on a friend's 360 later. :\ That kinda puts a damper on my plans... Guess it's time to think about a 360? lol.

You can probably code for Windows with only some minor tweaks for exporting to the 360.

I've just signed up, not because I think I'll actually enter anything (and if I do, I'll be lucky if I'm not in the bottom 5%!), but simply so I can get a trial for XNA CC and build some simple stuff to play on my console

I would avoid thinking like that. Windows will take a lot of kicking in the garbage collection department: whereas on the 360, the garbage collection can kill you. You ideally need to test on both as you go along
