Re: Article or Tip Eligibility TG1e 26 Oct '12 - 10:06  Great, I will focus on 31 Oct submission first.   Can I submit one more entry by 6 November to be in reckoning for grand prize? Or is 31 Oct the final date for this as well? Sign In·View Thread·Permalink Unity Android Game (which uses the NDK) yosofun 2 Sep '12 - 16:17  Would a Unity Android game be allowed in the contest? Sign In·View Thread·Permalink Re: Unity Android Game (which uses the NDK) Jamie Galindo 6 Sep '12 - 3:22  Hi Yosofun,   It is our understanding that unity android doesn't support x86. Are you able to get unity working on x86 android? Is it a beta release or a developer build with support for x86?   Please confirm and I will let you know if a unity android game will be accepted. As long as it can run in the emulator, it should be fine.   Let me know   Best, The Code Project Team Sign In·View Thread·Permalink Re: Unity Android Game (which uses the NDK) yosofun 6 Sep '12 - 10:24  Is it possible to test a Unity Android game from the market? Does intel android not able to take Android app store games Sign In·View Thread·Permalink Re: Unity Android Game (which uses the NDK) Jamie Galindo 10 Sep '12 - 10:36  Hi yosofun,   It looks like it isn't possible to test a Unity Android game from the market since the emulator doesn't support it.   Android for Intel Architecture is able to work with most of the Android app store content.   I hope this is helpful.   Best, The Code Project Team Sign In·View Thread·Permalink questions Member 9385721 27 Aug '12 - 4:31  After checking out the template and some discussions here, here are more questions:   * Assume there is no limit on how many words we should put into the article?   * For those entries not in the winner's list, their articles and source codes won't be published, right? And probably removed from your archives as well?   Thanks! Sign In·View Thread·Permalink Re: questions Jamie Galindo 31 Aug '12 - 5:59  Hi there,   1. There is a word limit to an article, but you are unlikely to hit it. Worst case, we make it a 2 part article.   2. All articles are published and will remain on the site.   If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.   Best of luck!

However, for those who do not win, I think people would prefer keeping codes to themselves.
