GamePark Holdings, the makers of the GP2X, are holding a coding competition!
You may be thinking "why the hell is he so excited about this?". Well, all will become clear.
You see, I wanted to enter GBAX's competition. Unfortunately I didn't get my game done by the deadline due to general incompetence. That game is now KuruKuru2X (see below). This time round I want to get an entry in.
So there's that. There's also the small matter of prizes. As you might notice, should you follow this link, the top prize is $5,000. Five thousand dollars. That's £2,600. That's an awful lot of money. Of course, so are the rest of the prizes. And a GP2X full set comes with each. I very much doubt I'll win first or second, but third and fourth prizes seem possibly viable for the winning. $500 is not bad for something I'd do for free and fun anyway.
You can bet your hat that I'll be entering some form of quirky homebrew game, for I don't have the time nor the expertise to write an emulator, let alone a good one by September 30th. I'll probably try though if I get my homebrew game perfected.
So that's that. BE PREPARED.
