Limits of "just about any form?"

[Brendan]

I'm considering designing my entry with a wiki (with a comprehensive table of contents, of course, so navigation wouldn't be a pain). Is submitting a URL reasonable, provided I have some mild proof that it's actually my game?

Hello Bredan and welcome to 1km1kt. I have no athority in the Iron Game Chef competition but I can tell ya what the rules say. Rule seven states;

7) You can submit your game in just about any form: PDF, Word Doc, TXT, HTML, etc. If you would like us to convert the document to PDF for you, just let us know at the time of submission and we'll do it. Again, the submission form will appear here once the contest begins, at the top of the page.

I'm thinking html & url are about the same? Of course, I always open to corrections. You all have a good one, Penbot

To be technical, HTML is the language that is used to format the text. So if the game is written under HTML, then it would meet the stated requirements.

URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is just the web address (what you type in the nav bar) to link to the file. A URL can point to anything on the web: .doc, .pdf, .html, etc.

What he's asking is: does he need to submit the actual files themselves, or can he just provide a link to them on his own webspace.

Just make sure to post it all in incoherent chunks into a great, big, heaping thread with all the others designers.

It's more fun that way!

I think that the real reason to want a file is just so we know that the person won't cheat after the fact. Not that we suspect anyone, but it just keeps everyone sure that it's honest (and feels more "complete" when we have all of the submissions in neutral hands). Most reviewers will be able to look at it online - certainly what I'd do - or they can just print it all off from the Wiki. No big whoop.

In any case, from what I've seen, Wiki's use absolute referencing, so anything downloaded would have to be altered to relative somehow to make the HTML work locally (anyone got a crawler that does that?). But, again, if need be it could be printed from such.

So, yeah, send a bundle of HTML.
