The competition, which officially started on 1 October 2009, will run for three months, ending on 12 January 2010. The rules of the competition state that the game must be a computer version of an existing board game, be freeware, exclusive to the competition (although copyright will remain with the author), programmed with GLBasic and run on Windows at the least.
