What’s a Game Jam?
We have an episode all about Game Jams, but the short version is that a Game Jam is a chance to try something new by using your programming and creative skills to build a game. This jam runs from January 21st – 24th, afterwards anybody who submitted a game can play and give feedback on the games. There are no strict rules or prizes, it’s all about the fun.
