Challenge #1 – Dual Buttons is complete! I got 17 entries which is amazing for the first go. I will have the entries online either later tonight or tomorrow for everyone to check out.

The next challenge is slotted to start next Sunday (November 8th) and the theme/rule for that challenge will be revealed at that time. For now I’ll give a slight hint that the theme/rule is more of an artistic nature than technical. ;-)

Theme/Rules: Your game is only allowed two buttons or keys. You cannot use triggers, thumbsticks, or other analog input. A directional pad can be used, but each direction counts as one button. You can use these buttons in combination, context, or any other mechanism in your game; the only requirement is that only two physical binary inputs are utilized in the game.

Challenge Time: October 25, 2009 – November  1st, 2009 (Entries due by 12:00 PST GMT-8 on November 2nd, 2009).

To Enter: Email your entry to contact@xna7day.com with the subject line “Challenge 1 Entry”.

Please see the About page for full rules/guidelines for the challenge. Since this challenge was started with this post, those rules are also valid for this first challenge.
