Let’s get on with the jam then! Since there’s a lot of information here, we’ll link to another page for the full instructions. Have fun!

Overview

Here’s a brief overview of what this document will cover. We’ll also go over the intended outcomes of the jam, as well as the tech stack we’ll use for the project.

Game Jams

Tech Stack

There are many game engines (reference) built in Rust already, but for this Micro Jam, we’ve created our own. There are a few reasons for this:

• ⚡ No-frills jamming: This “engine” is designed to make small prototypes and toys rather than a full game.
• 👐 Low overhead: The indented development path doesn’t require any setup on your local system. Instead, we’ll make use of GitHub Codespaces.
• ⛵ Easy shipping: Games are made to be deployed quickly to the browser, with little setup from you.

With all this being said, you aren’t obliged to use this engine. However, with the time constraints to make something, it should make it more feasible.
