It’s time for the NEO Spring Coding Contest 2008, and homebrewers of handheld applications better prep up for another round of trying to one-up each other. Dr. Neo just announced the mechanics of the latest NEO competition, which will close on March 20, 2008. Check out the mechanics below.
According to Dr. Neo, the emphasis for this year’s Spring contest will be on the applications using the R6 Gold, MK6 Motion Cart, and PSP Motion Kit, so entries that utilize any of the above peripherals will net additional points. There will be 10 winners for the Nintendo DS/GBA category and another 10 winners for the Sony PlayStation Portable category in the Game Division. Same goes for the Application Division.
Here are the prizes up for grabs, according to Dr. Neo:
- The No. 1: US$300 cash, OR choose anyone item from the final NEO product prize list.
- The No. 2: US$200 cash, OR choose anyone item from the final NEO product prize list.
- The No. 3: US$100 cash, OR choose anyone item from the final NEO product prize list.
- The No. 4 to No. 10: can choose anyone item from the final NEO product prize list.
This time around, Dr. Neo introduces a new contest mechanic: anyone can act as a judge in this year’s competition, and anyone interested can just check out the entries and submit a detailed test report.
Of course, there’s going to be some prizes in store for the those who were very thorough in their judging, so Dr. Neo will give away prizes for the top six NEO Professional Reviewers (three from NDS/GBA division and another three from PSP division).
