+ The theme for code jam 3 was creating a game with the theme the world ends in 10 minutes. + The teams of three could live out their creativity here - any form of game was fine, + as long as they fit the theme. The jam started at Monday, the 22nd October 2018, 12:00 PM UTC. +
+ +The original task description was as follows:
+++ ++ This task is a little more freeform than the other code jams we've had so far - + we're happy to accept games in any form, as long as they fit that theme. + You may use PyGame, Kivy, Curses/Unicurses, Pyxel, web frameworks like Flask, + or anything else your team desires. + Please provide instructions on how to set up and run your game within the README where necessary. + Remember that teamwork is paramount - You will need to work together. + For this jam, we've assigned a leader for each team based on their responses to the application form. + Remember to listen to your leader, and communicate with the rest of your team! +
+
+ The winning team for this jam was Certain Horses, consisting of Wattle, Scragly, and Mark. + They made a 2D platformer where the player had to collect lemons in order to earn points. + Below the player was an ocean of lemon juice that caused instant death if you touched it. +
++ Every time you collected a lemon, the lemon juice water level would raise up, + so you had to be tactical about which lemons you could collect + without dying and which of the branching paths you'd have to select to avoid the sea of lemon juice rushing up to meet you. +
++ You can play the game by yourself here: + https://github.com/MarkKoz/code-jam-3 +
+ ++ The first runner up for this jam was team Successful Toads, + whose code can be found at https://gitlab.com/biskette/code-jam-3/. + They wrote a flask app game which was about deciding who to let into the last nuclear bunker on the planet. + Like Tinder, but for nuclear holocaust gatekeepers. + The game had procedurally generated graphics which were absolutely hilarious, + and you would swipe right or left to decide whether or not to let someone into your bunker. + Each person had certain traits which could either save or destroy your bunker. +
++ In order to win, you had to balance stuff like medical expertise with combat experience + and make sure that your bunker would survive into the post-apocalypse. +
+ ++ The second runner up for this jam was team Misty Hats, + with code available at https://gitlab.com/JannesJ/code-jam-3. + They made an excellent shoot-em-up in the style of Gradius, + with a long intro cinematic, lots of original graphics assets, + and a whole bunch of different power-ups. Other features included: +
+Fighter enemy: A tiny spaceship that will follow you and try to take you down.
Pythonic mines: Space mines shaped like Python logos that damage you if you touch them.
Defensive Structures: Semi-Stationary defensive structures that will shoot you on sight
8 different power-ups: Extra damage, armor, hp, shield, double shot.. and more!
Timers: A ten minute timer and small timers for temporary power ups.
Different size/color blaster projectiles
Wave system
