Two questions about time and starting with pre-written code

1. Can we have extra time to make the itch.io game page? Or do we have to do that in the 7 minutes as well?

2. What are guidelines on copy/pasting code libraries or templates? Like, if I have a library file with helper functions that I wrote for another project, can I use that code, so long as all of the new game code is written in the 7 minutes?

Thanks! Sounds like a very fun little jam.

1. Yes. You can create the game page in your own time.

2. I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

on #2... for example, let's say I have code lying around from other prjects for handling gravity simulation. Could I copy/paste that code into my 7 minute project? Or would I need to rewrite that code from scratch? 

To me, the fun of this jam is its pure silliness, so I don't care one way or the other. I'm happy to see whatever people come up with! Just curious.

Personally I don't really care, but I would prefer if you would make all the code in the time limit.
