If I have my own yet unused engine that just handles graphics and sound (actual game mechanics, physics, etc are at a higher layer/scripted) can I use it in this contest, or is this contest imply (by the start and end date) that it be made from scratch based on this date?

I'm not a competition moderator, but I don't see any reason why that wouldn't be allowed. After all, a lot of people are using pre-existing systems like MMF to implement their ideas.

Go right ahead. I'll make that more clear in the contest rules next time.  |

No, in order to be legit all entries must be coded in binary.
You bunch of lazy amateurs.

What, you mean like a hard drive you bought from a shop? Way to take credit for someone else's hard work!  |

There is your problem. If you were using Emacs, you could have used the emacs command for pasting the XKCD emacs comic into a forum quickly.

For some reason, I convinced myself that it was necessary for me to write, from scratch, a tile-based game engine compatible with both OS X and XP. I'm currently struggling my way through fixing bugs in the maze of pointers that is my tile engine... Oh, and I'm using vim |

If it is your own engine, I think it is ok for competition.
