Hello friends!
This is a combination feeler / ideas / signup thread for something we'd like to do in a month.
The event in question is the
Goonstation AssJam13.

-
What is AssJam13 ?
- AssJam13 is a collaborative coding, mapping and spriting event. It's like Nomic times a million. Ass Day, where you make your own Ass. A standard Game Jam where you don't actually know the API or what other content your code is going to be running alongside. Good luck.
- For the month leading up to AssJam13, players will submit snipets of code and assets, whatever feature or behavioral change you can think of, and I try desperately to make them compile.
- On the 13th, Goonstation runs YOUR code. Anything that doesn't crash goes in.
- An opportunity for players to resubmit patches that were rejected, or overlooked, or that simply never saw the light of day. Anything that you thought about sending but didn't? Go for it!
- A learning experience where people can play with the cool tool that is DM, and try their hand at patching!
Wow! What a fucking bad idea! What's the rules?
The rules are simple
- Nothing that breaks rules 4, 5 and 9
- Nothing that crashes or threatens to crash the server
- Nothing deliberately introduces serious bugs
The criteria for selection are equally simple
- Compiles
- Doesn't directly conflict with a previous patch (first come, first merged)
- All sprites in a single .dmi, all code in a single .dm - No exceptions. Override or overload what you need to, but NO splicing directly to the existing source.
- Fun*
*(Read: I might run out of time and need a bullshit disclaimer to say "just because it follows the rules doesn't mean i'll be able or willing to merge it, in case of complexities!! Maybe next month!")
How do I play?
- Best way to do this is to provide your files via dropbox, google drive, or pastebin. Include your ckey in the submission and note that anything you do that actually doesn't kick rocks might get merged permanently.
- Link them in this thread NO LATER THAN THE 10TH OF JULY. In the future, if this is a success, we may have a tag in the patch submission forum for this branch.
- Please indicate your intention to play ASAP, with the provided poll! that way I know how many to expect later on.
