Thread Like Wildfire Incentive Program - Terms and Conditions

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 08:32:59 -0700

Intel® “Thread Like Wildfire” Contest Description

The Intel® Software Network team recently released source code for the Smoke Game Technology Demo. Smoke is a demo that showcases a framework to support n-way threading of game technologies. By properly threading a game it can have more accurate physics, smarter AI, more particles, and/or a faster frame-rate. Smoke demonstrates one way to achieve better games.

This contest encourages game developers to download the demo and submit back to the Intel® Software Network examples of how they used it, the benefits they experienced, or technical suggestions on how to improve the framework. The contest starts in June 1, 2009 and will continue up to December 31, 2009.

How To Enter

Submit a video, code sample, article / white paper, or a working demo using the Smoke code downloaded from the Intel Smoke Game Technology Demo site (http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/smoke-game-technology-demo/) . The entry must use the Smoke code demo or must detail specific improvements and suggestions to the code demo. Entries must be received by midnight (U.S. Pacific Standard Time) of the last day of each month to qualify for the prizes for that month. Entries received beyond that deadline will qualify for prizes for the following month.
By uploading your entry, you agree to be bound by the Contest Rules (Rules) set forth in this document. If you do not agree to these Rules, do not submit your entry.
To enter you must also register for the contest at http://www.intel.com/software/thread-like-wildfire. You will be asked to enter contact information so that Intel can contact you for contest announcements and prize distribution. Your contact information will be treated in accordance with Intel’s privacy policy which you can review at http://www.intel.com/sites/corporate/privacy.htm?iid=homepage+ftr_privacy.

Prizes

Each month three (3) entries will be selected to each receive a USD $300 gift card from GAMESTOP* (www.gamestop.com), which can be redeemed for video games and other accessories offered at this retailer. GAMESTOP* can ship to any address worldwide and some of the games are available for digital download to your PC.

Criteria and Selection of Prize Recipients

The three (3) recipients of the prizes for each month will be selected by our Intel panel of community managers and application engineers who are involved in game development. Entries will be judged on creativity and innovative ideas of using, modifying or enhancing the Smoke Demo code. Winners will be notified by email at most fifteen days (15) after the submission deadline. An individual can submit multiple entries in a month (or throughout the contest) but can only receive a maximum of one (1) prize every month.
