After a brief preliminary discussion, jMonkey’s first, and, depending on the results, maybe last docs contest has just been launched.

Submit your entries!

• The winner of the contest will be rewarded $25
• A winner will be picked by public vote.
• If there are less than five entries, we withhold the right to deem the contest invalid, including the #1 prize.

Edit: The contest was cancelled due to lack of interest. We’ll give it another try some other time though

The last contest was a hit with so many good games developed, so we’ve decided to run another one. The contest is now running!

Josh “Renanse” Slack and Rikard “MrCoder” Herlitz represented jME at JavaOne this year. They gave a well received presentation on Java and Gaming. Josh also presented during the KeyNote as well as participated on a gaming BOF. They did a fantastic job of building excitement around jME and getting the word out!
