Take Part in the Rubik’s Cube Homebrew Challenge (PSP) & Win $500!

July 27, 2007 by Abdalla Ahmed

The objective of the contest is for the contestants to come up with the best Rubik’s Cube game for the PlayStation Portable - Do that and win yourself $500 bucks! Yes thats right, £250 in British Pounds!

You can either group together and work as a team or do the homebrew alone. It also doesn’t matter what programming language you are going to use because all that matters is the end result.

The challenge : Program a Rubik’s Cube in 3D on the PSP .

The player will have to be able to play with his virtual Rubik’s cubic in the same way as a real one in his hands.

Ergonomics and handiness have to be well thought to provide a real pleasure when playing.

The game have to detect when the cube is finished.

The ability to provide some hints to the player will be better but it’s not an obligation.

The ability to apply custom textures on faces instead of classic colors but it’s not an obligation.

The cube’s rotation speed must be well thought.

The program can be ported from another version with the original author’s agreement. It will be less considered by jury but keep a chance to win if it is incredibly well made.

The Contest Will End on the 30th September…I will certainly be entering…will you?
