First PowerPoint Game Jam was hosted by PPTDEV. Link to original Game Jam can be found here.
Why not? It is known that PowerPoint is capable for making games along with adding VBA to code things! Consider this a challenge to create something out your comfort zone. Here are a couple examples of it's capabilities!
- Hyperlinks | - Triggers | - Mouse Over Detection |
- VBA/ Macros | - Animations | -Layers - Grouping Objects - Many More |
No worries! There are other programs out there that allow you to make and play most PowerPoint files.
Here's a list of programs you can download/use:
