GBAX Coding Competitions - 16 Days Hall of Fame

Celebrating five years of coding competitions

GBAX 2007entries are now online. Full details can be found here.

16 Days Coding Competition

16 Days was a massive success with 25 entries, way more than we expected! Well done to everyone that entered and showed that the GP32 community is far from dead! The overall quality of entries is amazing and to be very honest we would be amazed if any future competitions beat this standard.

Please download each entry and play them, don't download just the emulators, the developers have spent alot of time making their entry so please try them out.
