Changes to the game categories for 2019

Due to the cost associated with using Gamemaker it is no longer a competition category.  It has been replaced by Godot a 2D and 3D cross-platform compatible game engine released as open source software under a license from MIT.  The website has great supporting information and tutorials for those new to GODOT and game development.

In 2019 Students may enter in one of six (6) categories:

1. Year 5-8: Playable Game developed in Scratch
2. Year 5-8: Playable Game developed in GODOT
3. Year 5-8: Playable Game developed in any other free, or free for education, game development platform.
