Deliverables

What do I need to send to enter?

Entries need to include the following:

  1. A working copy of your game, compiled to run on either Windows, Mac OS, or Linux. All games entered must be created using the SwinGame SDK.
  2. The source code for your game (see below), and all related material needed to compile your program.
  3. A short document outlining your vision for the game. Tell us in one or two paragraphs what you were trying to achieve with your game.
  4. A short user manual indicating how to play the game. This must provide enough detail to enable the judging panel to install and play your game. Keep this document as short as possible.
  5. A short document listing any copyrighted images, music, and sound effects used.

What format should deliverables be?

Please submit the any documents in PDF format. Free PDF writers such as cutepdf allow you to print documents to PDF format. The user manual can be submitted either as a PDF, or as a set of web pages (HTML). Other creative formats will also be accepted after clearance from SwinGame organisers (contact details below).

The game must be submitted as an executable application. Ensure that the game can be executed and that it has all of the resources it needs to run. You should test it on a different computer to the ones you used to develop it to see if it works OK.

The source code should be submitted with all associated files needed to open and compile your game. The exact files will depend upon the programming language and tools being used. The following list provides examples:

  • A Visual Basic .NET solution using Visual Basic Express or Visual Studio would include:
    • The Visual Basic source code (.vb files)
    • The project and solution files (.vbproj and .sln)
    • All resources (images, sounds, etc)
  • A Visual Basic 6 solution would include:
    • The Visual Basic source code (.frm and .bas files)
    • The Visual Basic Project (.vbp file)
    • Scripts to copy game resources
    • All resources (images, sounds, etc)
  • A Delphi solution would include:
    • The Pascal source code (.pas or similar files)
    • The project file (.dpr)
    • All resources (images, sounds, etc)
  • A Pascal solution would include:
    • The Pascal source code (.pas or similar files)
    • Scripts to compile the program
    • All resources (images, sounds, etc)
  • A Visual C# solution using Visual C# Express or Visual Studio would include:
    • The C# source code (.cs files)
    • The project and solution files (.csproj and .sln)
    • All resources (images, sounds, etc)


How are these deliverables submitted?

You can submit the deliverables in one of two ways:

  1. Use http://www.yousendit.com to send a zip compressed file containing all of the required deliverables (be careful as a large file will take a long time to send so make sure you don't leave it to the last moment). Send the email to swingame@swin.edu.au, ensure that the subject contains SwinGame Competition, and the body of the email contains your team name.
  2. Send a CD or DVD containing your deliverables to the address below. Ensure that you accompany your submission with a letter that contains your team name.
