Project page and code reuse

Hi, I've got a couple of questions.

1.
I entered the Paint Jam earlier in the year and due to a combination of procrastination and issues with Phaser I didn't get very far with only a few screens worth of game content. My plan is to make the same game(With new graphics) but get further. Am I allowed to reuse the project page from the original attempt or do I have to create a new one?

2.
In the rules it states "You can use system code" and lists a few examples.
In my project from the earlier Paint Jam I've got an inventory class that keeps track of the items collected, inventory input and drawing. Would this code be considered system code?

Hi! To answer your questions;

  1. Please make a new page! I remove a lot of spam games from the jam simply because they were created way before the jam even started. (You wouldn't believe how many people abuse jam submissions) Making a new page let's me know the game was developed within the jam's time period.
  2. That works for me! The only thing I would avoid doing is like, copy and pasting a whole game, which it sounds like you aren't doing!
