After some comments about the quality of my contact page i have finally taken the time to upgrade to a much better one. This will not only help me out greatly by making it easier to contact you but it is also much more robust.

I am glad to announce that the winners for the first ever GM Helper contest have been chosen! In all there were 15 entries and i have chosen the two best.

1st Place: RTS Example by cody4camp
2nd Place: Ini Example by chainsawkitten

The winning entry was created by cody4camp and is the best rts example i have ever seen. It runs at a constant 30fps and displays group selection and movement as well as basic enemy ai and attacks. It also has a very unique cannon in game that functions perfectly and adds a bit of extra user interaction that isn't even seen in most commercial RTS's.
The second place example beautifully explains what alot of novice users find hard to do, and that is use ini files. This example sticks out because of the amount of detail that is put into the comments of the code. Everything is explained in great detail and you could easily learn how to use an ini file just by looking at the comments.

The server that this site is being hosted on is going to be upgraded early on "March 12, 2008 between 12 am EST and 6 am EST". This means that the site will come offline for a short while. Although the server downtime is only supposed to be about 15 minutes I will need to make sure that all of the systems are working correctly so please be patient during this time.

I have recently been informed that there are some errors on the site. In order to keep this site fully functional while these errors are being fixed i have removed the newer login screens and you now will get a simple blank page with the login form. Although this is temporary it is unknown how long it will take to fix. Also the contact page will be updated soon to get rid of the annoying errors it is showing.

Yes that time has come! The first GM Helper contest is officially over. I know it is a little late for this announcement but I have been away this last week. The judging is currently underway and you should be able to see the results in the next few days.
