did the pure-data gang-bang actually get any submissions besides Frank's datastructure game and aymeric's GEM movie? its original mission staetement and submissions solicitation sounded a lot like the one that started this thread...
Yes, there were five submission if memory serves me right. I like the one by the Gerard van Dongen the most, and I would especially like to see this one online somewhere.
hm, five entries might be a little bit to few to hold a real multi-category competition. that's why i'd rather propose "real" competition with winners and real prizes as a incentive for participation (i'm just a student, but might cough up some bucks to sponsor a pd-shirt or book or cd or something like that (+shipping) for the winner of one category). the proposed pd competition should be less 'restrictive' than the pd trigger gang bang. (filesize, interactivity and external-use should be restricted only by the corresponding categories) multiple categories will reduce the entries/category ratio, which brings us to the question which categories are actually meaningful (maybe: "will attract the most entries"?) and what would be the minimum amount of entries per category to actually hold a vote on.
