We'd like to thank all the entrants for their submissions. They were spectacular! The contest has now ended. We look forward to announcing the winners shortly.
Got an idea for an amazing Android game? Create a new, NDK-based Android game app for Intel® architecture (IA) based devices, then write an article about it and you could win a $25,000 cash prize!
This Intel® sponsored contest runs for four months, from July 6th 2012 and ends
November 6th 2012. There will be four prizes (one each month) of $1000 each, and a grand prize of $25,000.
Click on any entrant's submission and try their app in the emulator now!

More about sharing, than about winning!
Good luck!

Can we use tools which they can convert codes between languages such as mono for android or can we mix different libraries in our project (such as ndk, gtk).
Thank you...

As long as it runs on Android and uses NDK you're good to go. Anything else that's added is up to you.

Hello I am interested in entering the contest but I have some concerns about submitting full source code.
I know you go over it in the Terms and Conditions but I am not very good at parsing legal jargon.
Will you be distributing our source or compiled app in any way, or is it strictly for code review?
Thanks, and thanks for running such an awesome competition!

The competition works like all other competitions in that the goal is to, ultimately, allow other developers to learn from your code and article in order to allow them to get started in writing games.
Your article and code will be published on CodeProject.com like any other article.
I understand there may be certain proprietary pieces of code you don't wish to share, but we're assuming that a $25,000 grand prize will more than make up for any inconvenience you may face in writing code that doesn't use proprietary information you don't wish to share.

What about arts and sounds? Not that I'm planning a complex game but It will probably include some assets not authored by me, at least some pixel art and a background music. Some questions:
1- ¿Can the game include any loadable asset at all or all must be done by code?
2- ¿Must the assets be created by myself?
3- ¿Can use downloaded Creative Commons assets (pixel art, sounds) not authored by me?

Hi there,
Please find the answers below:
1. We are okay with loadable assets
2. No, provided the below is met.
3. Yes, provided all of the assets either come from works supported by the Creative Commons license, or uses a license that does not conflict with any existing licenses that CodeProject supports, or has permission of the author of those assets provided those assets are not protected by licenses or terms not covered by CodeProject supported license or the attached Conditions of Entry.
I hope this is helpful.
Best of luck on your app submission!

Hi Manoel,
You can submit more than one app if you like, but keep in mind that quality is part of the judging criteria.
We look forward to your submission(s) 
Best of luck!
