triptych Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Looks like there something called the Tizen app challenge - https://developer.tizen.org/contests/tizen-app-challenge The amount of money behind the prizes is phenomenal.

rich Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 $40,000 for an 'honorable mention' prize?!! That's insane. Usually I never enter competitions because really it's just a crapshoot, but this has me properly tempted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozdy Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Sadly, the list of supported countries is bad - some EU members are missing - Italy and Bulgaria, but Philipines are included? K1kk0z90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannesalfa Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Yeah, limited countries suck. You might find a developer from different country to team up. However, I'm participating this, a new game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tumira Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 The list of eligibility or countries for this contest are really disappointing. https://developer.tizen.org/contests/tizen-app-challenge/terms-and-conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluevessel Games Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 The list of eligibility or countries for this contest are really disappointing. https://developer.tizen.org/contests/tizen-app-challenge/terms-and-conditions It is a nosense, i wrote on their facebook page about this iussue. Hoping that they will answer me asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I assume the list of countries is the same as their app store operates in, and no others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluevessel Games Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 what i found. https://developer.tizen.org/forums/general-support/tizen-app-challenge-country-not-eligible It seems related to the legal iussue the linux fundation has to handle. But i'm very perplex about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentuat Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 While we'd love to be able to expand the contest after launch, it's just not an option available to us. Also, national contest laws are substantially different even in countries that seem to be otherwise similar. For example, there is precisely zero consistency between EU countries (even neighbors), let alone the rest of the world. I've been deeply into this. Some laws are positively bizarre.I do want to genuinely thank you for your interest in the contest. Wish it were possible to give you another answer about adding countries on this particular contest, but as I'd said before, we don't make the rules but we do have to follow them. that's mildly interesting - didn't realise it was such an issue for these kind of competitions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daikrys Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 well sad about the countrys who can not enter but if you really got a game that is able to win anything you could team up with someone who lives in a country that can enter this contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluevessel Games Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 well sad about the countrys who can not enter but if you really got a game that is able to win anything you could team up with someone who lives in a country that can enter this contest anyway it is not a reason to organize a competition in that way. Considering that lots of competitor's games will be emphasize during the contest, so , as in my case, italian developers have an unjustified gap about marketing exposure.

Rezoner Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 So, anyone tried their platform out yet? How is the development process, SDK and tool pipeline? Yes. Me. > How is the development process, SDK and tool pipeline? For a browser-based developer anything that involves building process is confusing. However with a doze (as in HOURS) of patience I have managed to successfully port my game. Pros: + Does not require to change a single line of the game code+ Emulator management is done well and straightforward+ Bunch of example applications, everything pretty well documented+ Emulator comes in x86 architecture and boots rather quickly(however don't even approach it if your CPU does not support hardware virtualization ex. intel/VT-x ) Cons (might be related to Linux/Ubuntu 13.04 only): - Bunch of ridiculous errors without a single clue on what's wrong - like conflict between the emulator and google-talk-plugin (!?!?!?!)- It is a very young environment so you are going to rely more on documentation (a lot to read) rather than others experience- IDE is Java/Eclipse based - and its responsiveness is exactly what you could expect from software written in Java Some mysterious processes like certification required - very easy and semi-automated - but you have to know it beforehand - nothing new if you have some experience with developing Android apps. Without a real Tizen device I am unable to comment on performance (which for canvas based app is "unplayable" in emulator - but that does not mean anything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny! Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Congratz for porting your game successfully to the tizen platform. Thanks for sharing your experience, too. Great to know that you doesn't have to touch the game code. Would be really interesting to know about the perfomance of your game on an actual device.

Rezoner Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Would be really interesting to know about the perfomance of your game on an actual device.

Ash Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Yeah me too, but it is rather unpopular system... need to convince some fabulous dev twitter account to ask the question I can help you test the performance on a real Tizen device ? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
end3r Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Would be really interesting to know about the perfomance of your game on an actual device. I can try - I have the Tizen device, plan to port my second HTML5 game to the platform and write an article about it. Ash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
