Write an Article, Win a Zune!

SimReality · 06-04-2008, 07:04 PM

Ziggy is at it again! A summer article/utility/useful thing contest has just kicked off. The contest runs until the end of June with the winner receiving a brand new, 8GB, custom engraved Ziggyware Zune. How awesome is that? Second place get their choice of either a 4 month Creator's Club subscription or one of a few games. And third place gets a 4 month Creator's Club subscription.

This is a great chance to help contribute to the XNA community and also a great chance for you to get your hands on a one-of-a-kind 8GB Zune. For the full rules, details, and examples, check out the official rules.

Why was my post moved? It's definitely a developer discussion. The idea is that you write an article or tool for XNA and win a Zune. Doesn't make sense to have it anywhere else, but I suppose whatever floats your boat.

Awesome contest, I don't know enough about programming to enter, but if you do slim, Good luck!

Thanks! It's how I got my MVP award. Writing lots of forum posts and articles. I'm actually working on my next one (for Microsoft's Coding4Fun blog) covering the creation of a Snake clone for the Zune. I'll be sure to post that link when it gets done.

Someone will start writing some Wifi games for Zune in the first weeks of July.

One of the other MVPs has started working on his own wifi Zune game called Zong:

YouTube - Zong - Single Player

. I especially like it because I made the music
