Shouldn’t this be in Contests? I realize not much can be done if a mod isn’t on since you want to start soon, but just for reference.

Well I was about to, but then I read the Contest boards and it seemed like it was for a more official contest.

My body is ready.

I am completely aware of that fact. I’m just looking for some competition. ;D

So who would participate?

Well jonjava is in.

Me too. But broke my framework and need some time to fix.

I’m in!

I would start a stream, but I’ve recently installed another operating system and won’t have enough time to get all of that setup :confused:

Just give us some time to write boilerplate code!

Depending on when we plan on starting, I could. But I’m not prepared at the moment. Maybe in a few hours?

Alright, I’ll be in I guess. Why not? Now I have to pick one of my libraries to use…

Edit:
Also, yes wait a couple of hours at the least.

We should make clear what the rules are first.
Edit: Damn this thing is fast progressing!

Alright what would be some suitable rules?

Hot damn this is progressing fast.

We can chat about the game jam here, I made an IRC channel:

Chat is quite hard to follow so here:

Im gonna sleep soon, cant do this.

Yeah… I have somewhere that I have to go… I still haven’t learned enough to put something together that quickly anyway. Good luck!

Doing a livestream!
