Welcome to the p5.js Game Jam #5

This is a 72-hour game jam that is held every 2 months specifically for p5.js (now also includes all the Processing-related languages) coders! (hosted by a coder in the community)

Time:

• Aug 11: Theme is announced + jam starts at 12pm UTC
• Aug 14: Jam ends + voting starts at 12pm UTC
• Aug 20: Voting ends + results at 12pm UTC!!

The themes are...

Thats right! For the first time in p5.js Game Jam history, there are TWO SEPARATE THEMES to choose from! That is because they have equal votes in the poll. It doesn't mean you have to use both themes in 1 game though! And as always, it is NOT necessary to follow the themes, but if you're looking forward to winning this jam then you should strive for it as "theme" is a criterion! I'm really looking forward to seeing your magnificent creation and playing your games! All games will be played and uploaded onto my Youtube channel :) Good luck and happy coding!

Ratings are set to public, meaning everyone can rate!

There will be 4 categories to rate:

• Enjoyment: How does the game feel? Is it fun?...
• Creativity: How original, creative the game is...
• Theme: Does the game stick to the theme or, at the very least, have some sense of the theme?
• Art + Audio: Does the game have great graphics/sfx/music?...

Here are some of the rules we must all go by:

1. All projects must be made from p5.js (or any language associated with the Processing Foundation). I have my own way of finding it out! :) You can use any kind of text editor or engine (vscode, sublime, notepad++, ...) but only with languages linking with the Processing Foundation (preferably p5.js)!
2. Anyone can participate in the jam, no matter whether he or she is an experienced coder or just started their first project!! Although those below 13 years of age should have a parent or guardian to upload their games.
3. The majority of the game must be made during the jam. That means you cannot submit pre-made games (we do check). Yes, you can use pre-existing code/sfx/music if you have the rights but I would recommend building from scratch! :)
4. You must upload the game onto itch.io and pricing must be "no payments" or "$0 or donate". Anyone who simply just puts a link to the project in the description will be disqualified. Also, try to make the game easy to access; players can download and play right away, or just play the game in a browser!
5. No NSFW, gore/violence content, or rude language. Keep this page as clean as your code 😉
6. No cheating with the theme poll.
7. You cannot edit your submissions after voting has begun.
8. No vote hacking.
9. Be polite! If you see any kind of bullying, you can always report it!

If you want to find teammates, show everyone your game, or simply chat with others, this is the official discord group for this jam! :)

Well that is it! :) If there is anything confusing, just ask me in the community section! :)

There is no prize (except getting featured in future jams), but remember, this is just for fun! The sole purpose of this jam is to push this small but amazing community to thrive!! So, with that being said, have a great weekend everybody 💖

Check out the p5.js library, online editor, reference sheet; or the Processing Foundation page!

Teeny tiny tip: follow me on twitter, where I will more likely publish the theme on time hehe :) itch.io doesn't have schedule mode so... 😅
