Hello fellow nerds! Hey, listen. I was wondering... who wants to join my new video game creating company called WhateverGaming inc.©! I am the founder! Whoever codes the best game and sends me all pics, i will give 80% credit to PLUS A promotion to head coder! Hints: I like Pokémon, Zelda.

You want people to make games for you, and you'll still get credit for them? What's in it for the coder? Partnership is supposed to be equitable. You need an incentive for people to want to participate. It's an important part of trade and business logic.

did you realy get a copyright for that name? or did you just put it there for looks?

Adding on what Oscar said, you need to give more for the contest instead of partnership. Like, theres a contest going on in SmileBasic source giving winners Steam money or eShop money. So basically you just want people to make games for you.

I'm sorry! I just really want to see an Indie game! I can just cancel the contest if you guys want... I also just want someone to teach me how to code. I've never learned how to code. The closest to coding I've ever done is play RPG maker for PC. Sorry guys. Could someone at least teach me how to code? it looks like jibberish to me...

It's OK! There was no problem in having a contest, but you need a reason for people to participate. That was all I was saying. As for coding, everyone needs to start somewhere. I recommend starting by reading SmileBASIC's official e-manual. You can find it here: http://smilebasic.com/en/e-manual/10.php You can also find programming courses online. I suggest KhanAcademy's.

Thanks for the advice, Oscar! I'll do just that... Oh! and next time I make a contest, i'll make it WORTH THE EFFORT!

I don't think you can copyright a name. You can trademark and restrict brand names, but not copyright. Copyright is applied to any art (music, video games, stories, etc.), and are applied automatically to any art that is created. However if you want to file legal claims, you must get a legal copyright. Logos are the only form of art that cannot be copyrighted (but can be protected in other ways)

By the way, the link for the e-manual I posted has changed. It is now... http://smilebasic.com/en/e-manual/manual11/

THANKS SO MUCH YOU GUUUUUUYS!
