How to successfully upload your project!!!

What are the requirements?

When creating your project, the most important consideration is the size of the whole project, this includes resources such as sounds, movies, and midi files. We highly recommend that you limit your project size to under 300K. Here are some tips to help you:

  • Make nice graphics but reduce the project size to about 400K by 300K. Use the newprojectsize command to create a project in the recommended size.
  • Include as much midi music as you like.
  • Do not include digital movies.
  • Do not make or import long sounds.

How do I send my project?

  • Once your project is finished you should spend some time testing it. After it is properly debugged you should do the following:
  • Create a folder and put the project and its media resources in the folder.
  • Open the project and test is to check that you didn�t forget to include any media resources.
  • Check that the size of the folder doesn�t exceed 300K.
  • Create a zip or stuffit file with all the contents of the project folder.
  • Write a short description and the instructions for your project.
