Is kudos points a real thing? If it is, how do we get them?
They are real, and they are "for obvious efforts by an entry to go above and beyond the contest requirements."

What's 4E4? Link?
See the announcement here in the forums, or the GameDev.net front page news.
First, I apologize if this was in the entry description (or just plain stupid), but I didn't see it and just wanted to clarify :
I'm assuming this is outside of the game itself, so what format should this be in ? .Pdf, .html, ... or is it at our discretion, so long as you can use it ?
I'll admit I missed the "Web Browser" part; so this is specifically a web-based competition ? Can we use Java, and if so what version will these machines have ?
Quote:User documentation describing game use (i.e. a user manual) is required to be submitted with the entry.

It's at your discretion.

I'll need to rephrase that because it's not necessarily a web-based competition. It can be anything that runs on a Windows PC, including a web browser. You can use Java, and it would be the latest version.
I am a little unsure on the legal side of things. in the legal area at the bottom, you say it needs to be completely our work, and we need to have full ownership of everything in the game.
i use several 100% free texture packs, they do have an author, but he has put no copyright on them and says we can use them in any project we want, free or commercial.
am i allowed to use these in the entry? you say we are allowed to use libraries and encouraged to do so, so i would assume yes?
