Nullarbor 2007 Update

I sent an email asking Martin Masek some questions about Nullarbor. For those who are planning on making a submission, the following information may be helpful:

  • The submission deadline is midnight between 30th & 31st March.
  • The competition runs for 3 days (30th March - 1st April) with the prize ceremony on Sunday 1st April.
  • You should be able to attend the GO3 conference without it conflicting with your Nullarbor commitments.
  • Keep intermediate versions of your progress to prove originality upon the judge’s request.
  • The competition PC specifications are HP DC 7100 Desktops (3.2GHz/1GB DDR2/40GB HD/XP PRO/17″ TFT DISPLAY) with POV GS7600 512MB Graphics Card.

    Any idea if the desktops will have Windows and Linux installed?

    From what I can gather, just Windows at the moment :(

    We’ve asked to have Linux on the machines, but I’m not sure if that’s going ahead… Otherwise we’re looking to make a live CD (using Knoppix maybe), and if that isn’t allowed… port our game to windows. Ack!

    Just read an email from Martin:

    > OneTwenty can relax - a CD that boots up with linux will be fine.

    Yay!!
