Ludlam Dare game jam

[AnnaGerber]

From Nathan on the wealljs slack:

"The next Ludum Dare is on during CampJS so I thought it might be interesting to suggest it as a side activity" https://ldjam.com/

"Ludum Dare is one of the world's largest and longest running Game Jam events. Every 4 months, we challenge creators to make a game from scratch in a weekend."

It starts at 8am on the Saturday morning

Ideas to support this:

• Provide some getting started with JS game dev resources - useful libraries, public domain or CC art or sound assets etc. Provide links in the comments on this issue and we can collate them into a page on the campjs intranet and make sure we have local copies
• Include shout out in the opening session on the Friday night so people are aware of the game jam and the rules
• Schedule game-related talks/content early in the program so people can apply it in the game game (maybe even on Friday night?)

I'm happy to put together a list of resources, etc.

I'll flesh out the some details about each thing but the list so far is:

Engine

• Phaser

Art

• Aseprite
• LibreSprite (free but old version of Aseprite)
• Piskel

Level building

• Tiled
• OGMO

Sound/Music

• BFXR
• GarageBand (plus Magical 8Bit Plugin?)

Bundling/distribution

• Electron
• npm-icns (deprecated but still useful)
