Welcome to the third langjam!
This jam begins at 9pm UK time on the 22nd of July and runs until 9pm UK time on the 24th of July.
The theme of jam is: Beautiful Assembly
Assembly can mean a number of different things. For example, it could mean the most fundamental language a human can write to interact with a computer, the act of building something, or what has been built. Let your imagination run wild.
To participate:
- fork this repo
- make a copy of the TEMPLATE directory
- rename the copy to the name of your languages (for example, if your language is "starlang" rename TEMPLATE to starlang)
- update the TEAM file in the directory with the name of your team members. Team members should be listed by their GitHub username. The first username on the list of team members is the team captain (see below)
- send a PR to submit your project. In this PR, only touch files in the directory you're creating for your language and no other directories.
Language names are "first come, first served" so if someone else takes your language name you'll need to come up with a new one.
See below for more information on submitting your project.
Please keep your language name "family-friendly". Sole discretion for what counts as "family friendly" is left up to JT, but if the name is safe/kid-friendly you should be fine.
Teams can have one person or multiple people.
Code for this project must be completed in the 48 hours of the jam. No projects will be accepted after this deadline.
You also have an optional additional 48 hours after the jam where you can spend a total of 12 hours as a team working on a website and documentation. This is optional. You may choose to submit documentation along with the project submission above in the first 48 hours, and that is also acceptible.
When you submit your project, send a PR that updates only your languages's directory and nothing else.
In the PR, submit:
- your project's source
- a README.md that describes how to build and use the project
- sample files written in your language
- links to any presentation you might have (websites, videos, etc)
- NOTE: if you are using the additional documentation/website time, be sure to link to this documentation from your README.md file in the PR
Please note: only submit source files and documentation. Please don't submit compiled binaries for your project.
The team captains will be the ones responsible for updating the submission. You may update your project up until the cut-off time.
You can read through the helpful hello world from GitHub. If you've never forked a repo, you can check out the GitHub forking tutorial.
The langjam begins at 9pm UK time 22nd of July and runs until the 9pm UK time the 24th of July. At 9pm UK time on the 24th of July, we'll end submissions for the jam and begin the optional documentation period. Make sure you have submitted your PR before this cut-off.
After the first 48 hours, you have an optional additional 48 hours where you can spend up to 12 total hours working on a website and documentation. You're not required to use this time, but it is there to give you time to rest and write docs.
Judging will take place after the jam has ended. Once judging has concluded, we'll pick a set of winning projects that will become part of a video on the Systems with JT YouTube channel.
You're welcome to try out other projects. We'll have a way to leave comments so you can share your thoughts and vote on which you liked best, too.
