github / game-off-2013 Goto Github PK

I own a license for ImpactJS and was wondering if I could submit a game (sans the engine) as the source code entry but offer a game.min.js (which includes a playable minified version of the engine) as a playable version?

What are the rules for assets in the game (graphics, audio, etc). Do I need to create them myself or can they be something from someone else or another source (public domain, for example)?

Thanks :)

I've changed my repository's name, and Github still lists it as a fork of this repo, but I wanted to make sure that didn't disqualify me or anything.

Thanks!

Hi, first of all, I'm really sorry for asking and I want to say that I'm in no way "demanding judging to be sped up" or anything along those lines.

I've just been looking at the tweets related to the #ggo13 and noticed how people are getting impatient, some even thinking that "it's now ok to keep pushing updates to their projects since the contest is over" or something like that.

I'm well aware of the amount of games submitted and the limited amount of times the judges have between their jobs and the holyday season, but I think a small tweet from @github saying something similar to "Happy Holydays! Our judges are still working on #ggo13 so thanks for standing by for the results" would greatly improve the mood at twitterland.

That's all I came to say, sorry for going all the way and -literally- "making an issue out of this".

Have a happy new year and may the winners be able to rejoice soon!

Hello! My team and I are currently competing in the GBJAM http://www.gbjam.net/ which started on the 1st of this month.

Our game's theme just happens to be loosely based on change. Would we be allowed to enter our game in both the gbjam and GitHub Game Off?

The rules say

All entries must be web-based, i.e. playable in a browser. HTML5, WebGL, Unity, Torque 3D, Node JS, and Flash are all possible - just be sure the source is made available on your fork.

What does Node JS have to do with browsers? If it is an online game (with a backend), can't its backend be written in any language as long as the client itself runs in the browser?

Is the competition open to non-US based coders?

Hello,

I am using Unity to build the game for web.
So, i am uplodaing the build files and linking to it so that it can be downloaded as a zip file and played by opening the html file.
Is this allowed?.

Thanks

The source will be available, but whoever downloads it won't be able to use it unless he pays for Unity Pro plugin, or gets a free trial.

Hello,

Is it allowed to fork the github/game-off-2013 repository into a private one, and make it public it just before the end of the contest?

It's just that I would like to test and idea before exposing it and if it's good enough, submit it to the contest.

Thanks.

Hello. This might be the wrong place to ask this, but will there be a Game Off 2015? I couldn't seem to find anything on Game Off 2014, which leads me to believe no such event happened.

Knowing I'll polish till the deadline, and so will many others, what's the exact end time for submissions, 1st of December, in what timezone?

Thanks

Can I to write a java applet?

Hello.
A couple of questions.
Can a game which i started like 2 weeks ago be submitted?
The code and the project of the game must be "Libre" (Open Source) ?

hi! I want to create a jar file of the game roomforchange. Can you explain how to do it? I am using a macAIR with java 1.7. I am using roomforchange desktop version for this. thx!

I forked @pkukielka's project from last year at http://petarov.github.io/ggo13-viewer/

This should contain a list of all 2013 entries/repos that have their Website URL set. Hopefully everyone's included!

Cheers :)

1. By when do we have to fork the repo to enter? I only learned about this yesterday (and ran a concept in my head last night), and if I can find time from college work I want to join. I just don't know by when I must enter.
2. Can the game be hosted on GitHub Pages, and is at a requirement to push the the master branch? Can I push to gh-pages instead, or do I need to simply sync a gh-pages branch with the changes from master?

Hi,

I'm wondering what exactly the rules are for modifications post-submission. Can we not change anything at all or are some modifications allowed? Eg fixing bugs, major or minor changes, code cleanup/commenting, adding credits, anything of the sort?

Are games developed as a team accepted? (In particular I'm thinking about only 2 people). Should we do it on an organisation account, or is it the same?

Thanks!
