Rules
-No game engines: all code must be your own besides graphical/multimedia (SFML etc.) and built-in libraries (XNA is OK)
-No adult content: If your game has adult content, warn the player before displaying your game
-You may have a pre built code base (collisions, tile maps, physics etc.) as long as you made it yourself (or your team). Everything but the game can be pre built
-Teams of 4 or less are allowed, but solo is recommended
-All art & music should be made by your team during the jam
Rewards
-You will gain experience with rapid prototyping and game design
-Possible publicity for your game/team
-A game you can further develop
-Fancy award print offs for Best Tech/Programming, Most Humorous, Highest Quality, Best of Jam, Best Minor, and Most Innovative.
-It will be fun
Entrants
-All ages and experience: everyone's welcome!
Our goal is to have ~5 teams. If the goal is not met we will still do the game jam (it just won't be as fun).
