2011 January Lispy Game Jam
The 2011 January Lispy Game Jam is a fun, seven-day, online challenge for lisp hackers to produce computer games using a lisp variant.
- The event is penciled in to start on the 10th January (exact time TBC), and will run for 7 days.
- The competition is entirely run online. Chat about it on IRC at #lispgames on chat.freenode.net and follow lispgames on Twitter.
- Build a game using a lisp language while the competition is on, and publish it somewhere.
- Register on this wiki and add your details below by the day before the competition, currently Sunday, January 9th.
- Use a lisp variant as the primary language to build your game within the chosen theme. That can include Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure, Emacs Lisp, or even your own lisp-like invention. The rest of the technology is up to you.
The theme will probably involve three elements, a combination of; one thematic, one gameplay & one technical, as outlined here.
