As with all the olc::CodeJams, there will be a window of opportunity to fix and tweak your projects after the deadline. This is only available to those that have submitted something before the deadline. It's a long judging period so dont feel this counts against your submission. If you are going to submit late, please contact me (javidx9) via discord or itch for a late submission token.
Before we start....
Our friend and moderator SaladinAkara unexpectedly passed away recently. He was a well known character in our community, and I went to his funeral and met with his family. They were shocked and pleased to see just how popular their Matthew was. They had set up a GoFundMe campaign to assist with his funeral costs, and I'd like to think that some of the hundreds, if not thousands of people Saladin helped over the last 4 years might offer some help in return. Thank you.
Theme: Memory
WHY?
Even though the OneLoneCoder YouTube channel has been a bit quiet, the community has been thriving, so it's that time of year again! It's olcCodeJam Time! It doesn't matter what your level of experience is, the CodeJam welcomes all to have a go at a project with a theme and a deadline. This is a CodeJam - which means you don't have to submit only games, but applications, demonstrations and other projects are welcome, as long as they adhere to the theme. The olcCodeJams usually get a wide viewing audience, so its a great opportunity to take some pride in your work and show your stuff!
WHEN?
The CodeJam this years starts at 2000 BST 25th August 2023, and lasts for 9 days until 2000 BST 3rd September 2023. Judging is then open for about three weeks until 29th September 2023 when we will have our winner! Until then, why not join our discord server and chat about code with thousands of others: https://discord.com/invite/WhwHUMV
WHAT?
The theme will be announced when the jam starts. Wait for it here, or very likely there will be a theme reveal livestream, link to be posted soon.
HOW?
Its easy!
- Register with itch.io and join the CodeJam. This will allow you to keep up to date with CodeJam activity.
- Wait for the CodeJam to begin, and the theme to be announced.
- Start Programming!
- Submit your entry before the deadline. Once this passes, your entry is locked and is ready to be judged!
- During judging, try as many other entries as you can, stream them, post the ones you like - remember the aim is to encourage people to have fun, and receiving a rating is a great feeling!
- Once the judgment period ends, the winner will be announced!
RULES!
- Keep it clean, safe for work and reasonably family friendly.
- If you use assets you have not created, please credit them appropriately and in accordance with their license.
- Your entry should be original for this Jam.
- Unlike javidx9's YouTube channel, entries can be in any programming language or framework, so you are NOT limited to using olc::PixelGameEngine (though you can, and it compiles for browser now, just saying :P ), so feel free to create your entry however you want. HOWEVER: Past CodeJams have shown that browser based entries on average get more ratings because they are easy to access. This is NOT compulsory.
- The winner is decided by points awarded by the public and the community.
- A judges choice award is available. It's worth 50,003 internet points!
- Unless otherwise announced, all dates and times, especially the deadline, is final.
