Questions Anybody?

0. Why are you doing this?
Hey, why not!
We just want to keep the site and everybody's programming skills fresh, plus it'll allow others to learn from your code or vice versa. We're mostly doing it just for fun!

1. What are the rules of entry?
There aren't that many. Just make sure you follow the ones that there are.

<0> You must follow the guidelines and restrictions (if there are any) of the project description.
<1> Your code must be for Xbox! If it isn't, then you're disqualified :)
<2> Your submitted code must include all files like media (if it needs any) and any of your own header files.
<3> The code must be your own. You can borrow ideas from other places and people but don't go stealing big chunks of code, at least without acknowledging them.
<4> If the code doesn't compile and link straight away and there are errors then we'll note these down, try and fix them and when we put them on the site tell people what changes we've made.

<5> And finally, all the source code you send in will be released on the site for others to learn from, so if you don't want that then don't enter!
2. What if I submit my entry but then make a better version?
Just resubmit it and we'll only count the latest one you've uploaded.

3. Does it matter if my code is really messy?
Nope, as long as it compiles fine. We're not gonna be judging the code, only the finished product when it's running on the Xbox.

4. Prizes! Are there any?
We aren't currently having any prizes for the weekly challenge (due to lack of funds and the fact we're doing this for the experience), but maybe at some point we'll have a special weekly challenge :)


If you have any other questions or need some help you can either email them to me at wishi@xfactordev.net or to Ben at Ben_3D@xfactordev.net.

Right well that's enough of that already! Onto the challenge...
