[X-M-O]

Just replying to help Kaust answer a couple of things whilst he's not online. ^^

I have a question just to clear things on my mind.. when you said 30x30 it means 30 width and 30 height = 30 squares horizontal and 30 squares vertical?

Yes, that's correct. 30x30 is 30-wide by 30-high. (A perfect square; total of 900 tiles, so there's plenty of room to show off skill.)

Why VX Ace only?

This is the first competition where we've limited submissions to VX Ace, so it is a mixture of getting on with the new software (since it has been out long enough for a lot of people to have it) and simply using the most recent Maker version.
(Kaust might have the rest of the reasons, but those are the only two I remember off the top of my head, lol.)
