4. The participant is allowed to use Kivy and standard Python libraries. Usage of pure Python libraries is tolerated, so long as they will embed within the application.

   The game must run on the latest Kivy (1.0.9) with the command "python main.py"
6. Use of external libraries via ctypes, compiled extensions, or specific OS code is forbidden.
7. Use of custom OpenGL is not allowed. Your application must be compatible with OpenGL ES 2.0.
8. The game should be tested beforehand. A failure to start will result in negative points.
9. Any adult or offensive content is forbidden. The game should be for all ages.
10. Entries will be scored and prizes awarded by a panel of judges who are excluded from participating.

Every game will be scored on:

• Idea (funny/addictive, originality/uniqueness)
• Smooth gameplay (stutters, hiccups, game logic)
• Simplicity / Usability
• Usage of Kivy logic
• Production quality (graphics, sound, polish)

Each part will be scored on 20 points, for a total of 100.
