Ludumdare 48hr

Have you tried submitting a news item?

Site doesn't work. Could you paste the competition rules/guidelines here?

The page is not up right now, but everything will be up very shortly.
I'll explain the rules that I can remember from previous contests.

At the begining of the contest a theme is announced, you then have 48hrs to make a game based on that theme.
All content/code must be made during this time, no existing code or content.
Practically any language and libs are ok, excluding those which have game logic.
The finished product must not need something commercial for other users to try (for instance no mods).
Thats pretty much it afaicr, I'll ask Geoffh if he can get the rules page up asap.

ok so the rules page has been up all along :)

Prizes The envy of all your fellow indie game developers. Your name in lights, and 48-hours worth of hard work presented for all to marvel over. What could be better than that?

Prizes aren't important [razz] The fun bit is seeing how much of a playable and fun game you can make in an extremely short time limit. [grin]

Seconded.

Can we get clarification?

The rules page should clear everything up:
