Are there any specifics in the tutorial to submit?
Answer: There are no specifics in the tutorial to submit. Do whatever you like to make your tutorials easy to be understood.
Can it be as simple as setting up the Environment or do we need to make a small game?
Answer: Yes, you can post a very simple tutorial. A small game demo is encouraged as a good way to show your tutorial.
Are we allowed to use additional libraries, i.e. Facebook, Google Play Services, Twitter, etc.?
Answer: Absolutely you can. And that is attractive.
Can it be platform specific? I.E. not cross-platform?
Answer: Yes, you can make a iOS or Android only tutorial.
I already have a series of tutorial-like articles planned, but they will be in Spanish (and I don’t really think I’ll have the time to translate them all to English), so I guess I’ll be left out of the competition

Why not? Just choose some parts of them and share us~~
Can the tutorials be video based tutorials on YouTube?
I’m sorry that is not allowed for this competition.
But we are glad you can give us the url and we may share your video on our facebook if it was really good.
Thanks @SonarSystems, these tutorials are very interesting and very helpful, we wait for others about multiresolution, multiple languages, INP,…
Thnak you ,Thank you
Would be nice if there was a tutorial for the simple and obvious topic of ‘how to install and setup a project?’. I am stuck. Cannot for the life of me figure out how to create a project in visual studio 2013 express. v3.0 alpha had a nice tool to do this in a convenient way. But the new console thing doesn’t even work for me.
@utilae
We have tutorials covering setting up Cocos2d-x and generating a project for Android on Windows but should be easily adaptable to Visual Studio using V3.
