Hi,

Can you please reply to this fast as I need to start developing. Can you please tell me for which platform can we develop.
 a) Windows desktop application (.exe). Can we use c#?
 b) Windows metro style application (.appx). This will require a windows 8 laptop/desktop which I am sure you guys at google will have. Here again we will use c# and XAML.
 Out of these two can we develop for both. Can we submit you any of these above two I will also give the whole package for windows 8 app so that it can be installed.

Can you please give me a contact number so who I can contact for my queries?


Regards

We are only allowing C++ and Java for students in classes 9 and 10 because they are available freely. Also it be preferable if you only use the standard libraries that come with the languages. The OS can therefore be Linux/MacOS/Windows or even any other as long as gcc or java (or an equivalent freely available compiler) is available on that OS.

As long as you are using standard C++ or Java libraries, yes. 

But the problem is that most Win8 apps in C++ will require additional libraries that are not part of the the standard package. Check that before starting your project.

Yes he is going to participate he is in class 10 but anyways he worked really hard to make a .exe. So now it can be installed in any computer as it is a .exe so .exe is allowed right?

Hi

Here is the note that we have updated on the contest website to show what you can submit.

Note for C++ and Java projects
Please submit all source code files and binary files. Also submit a README.TXT or README.HTML file with instructions on what operating system was used to create the project, how to set up the project environment and how to run your project.

Thanks

Please submit all the code and our judging committee will decide how to evaluate and consider it as compared to others who have followed the contest guidelines strictly.

Please put the minimum requirements in a Readme.txt file and we will most likely be able to test it - especially if it is Windows, MacOS or Linux.
