-# Guidelines
-
-When creating your game, we suggest you follow these guidelines in order to improve both its performance and players experience.
-
-## Technical Guidelines
-
-- The game should be noob friendly. Can make a workable AI with a bunch of ifs. 
-- If it is a game with limited output options per turn, send those options in the protocol (e.g. the first player of chess has 20 possible actions).
-- Viewer should be enough to understand most of the rules.
-- Gameplay based around rounds/turns. Only perform checks (collision, presence, etc.) at the end of a turn.
-- End player’s program when it outputs an unrecognised command. Continue player’s program when it outputs a recognised but invalid command and add error message to summary.
-- Stop game early if players aren’t doing anything or are otherwise stalemated.
-- Stop game early if the ranking is decided whatever the players may do.
-- Always minify png and jpg assets.
-- The Referee must not crash, make sure all possible exceptions are caught, especially during the parsing of a Player’s actions, where most errors occur.
-- Minimum font size: 36px.
-
-## Soft Limits
-
-The following limits will make your game run faster, but they are not strict limitations.
-
-- Statement length: less than 6k characters
-- Total entity creations: less than 200.
-- Max total time alloted to the players: 25s.
-
-## Protocol:
-
-The following lines will help most players to get into your game. Try to simplify things when possible. 
-
-- Two loops max for input.
-- Variables to read per loop: less than 10.
-- Stub generator must not exceed: 45 lines of Java.
-- If the player is given an ID, it is always 0.
-
-## Graphics:
-
-- Privilege the use of Sprites over Shapes (Rectangle, Circle, etc.)
-- Use less than 2Mb total for assets.
-
-## Games with leagues
-
-- Stubs should, if possible, be the same for every league.
-- If a game needs at least 1 data structure to make an AI that doesn’t crash, it needs an easier league.
-
-## Rules
-
-When contributing on CodinGame, you must accept and apply these rules:
-
-- Your game must not contain any kind of inappropriate content.
-- Write a stub generator. The documentation can be found in the [CodinGame SDK repository](https://github.com/CodinGame/codingame-game-engine/blob/master/stubGeneratorSyntax.md). Any non-explicit variable must be explained with a comment.
+Guidelines and best practices for coding games can be found in the documentation ["Contributing to CodinGame"](https://www.codingame.com/playgrounds/40701/contribute---help/coding-games#guidelines)
