0.3 will be released very soon, which should address known bugs. Though
with it comes a lot of new features that may have bugs of their own. I
expect 0.4 to be more of a maintenance release. It probably won't be
bug-free, but I am optimistic that it will be stable and usable without
funky workarounds.
I can see the logic in not running the bB contest for a year like the SC
contest. But maybe it should run for at least 3-4 months so a stable
version of bB should be available with enough time to write some games with
it.
Great contest, by the way. Maybe the top 5 entrants can get their games
sent to them on a cart, in addition to any other prizes?
