Ideas summarized for LPC-2013

LPC-2013

Submission format for LPC-2
========================================================================
* enforce public version controled hosting.
  using git/svn/cvs/bzr/hg whatever you like and 
  host it at github/sourceforge/bitbucket/launchpad etc


* Handing in an installscript which must run on a provided free distro vm.
  It should not contain a 'wget my-executable' or such, but actually
  - install deps
  - download game sources from public hosted site.
  - compile/setup game.
  (- start the game)

 The installation script is a huge factor in the judgement.
 Any project that doesn't have a functional readme  / license / ./buildme.sh is automatically discarded.

 <BartK> we also asked people not to use esoteric libraries
 (esoteric libs must be installed via that install script, so you're biting yourself actually.


* A reference screenshot should be provided, with a typical or interesting scene.
 This makes press releases easy.


* To be discussed:
  <Nushio> c) provide guidelines for each "accepted" language
  <me> Well you need to write the install script... ok, but you'll need to figure it out anyway.


About judging: 
========================================================================
The community should have a huge if not all impact on the judgeing,
because the games are done for the community, so the actual audience
might be most accurate at judgeing.

To prevent unfair judgement (things like: I'll call all my friends to vote
for my game, hence I win) it might be suitable to only accept judgeing
votes from the actual game developers who handed in a valid submission.

Maybe 3 cathegories are also ok: 
 - a developers-judged prize. 
 - a community based judging(voting free for all)
 - a prize judged by actual judges if any.
