Welcome to the ZGBJAM2 page!

From the 26th to 28th of July, we will get together to make new awesome Game Boy® games using ZGB! 

What is ZGB? It's a free open source little engine (plus a set of utilities) which allows you to create any kind of game for the Nintendo Game Boy®  and Game Boy Color® in C language.  It uses GBDK with an updated version of SDCC (3.6.0) Since its creation in 2016 several games have been developed even by people without a programming profile!

   

Rules

• This will be a 48hrs jam, so we'll start at 26/07 17:00 (GMT+1) and finish at 28/07 18:00 (GMT+1)... the extra hour is for last minute uploading problems ;)
