I hope nobody encounters a major bug, some crucial missing feature, or confusing or non-existent documentation while jamming with us! But if you do, here's a potential consolation prize.

I'll consider PRs to third party plugins not authored by the entrant as well. I won't be actively monitoring those, however.

  • The prize is $20 USD via Paypal or Venmo.
  • Entries will be judged arbitrarily by me based on PR quality, bug severity and whim.
  • There should be some way of connecting the PR author to the jam entry. In the ideal case, the PR author github account would have also contributed to the public github repo for the jam entry.
  • PRs do not need to be merged to qualify.
  • PRs must be opened during the jam period.

Feel free post links to PRs here for visibility.

I'd like to nominate this one as it's adding a feature that resolves a problem I ran into during the jam

This was incredibly hard to judge. Thank you everyone who took time to contribute around the Bevy community during Bevy Jam!

And the winner is...

ShadowCurse submitted this PR to improve the "heron" crate, which is a Bevy plugin offering an ergonomic layer on top of "bevy_rapier" for physics. While it wasn't merged, I though this was a nice example of collaboration in the wider Bevy community. They also got bonus points for mentioning the Bevy Jam.

Honorable mentions (in no particular order)

Djee (Super Kaizen Overloaded) While not actually a PR, this jammer took time during the jam to document an issue an a workaround in a third party bevy crate. This ultimately spurred an interesting discussion about abandoned crates and a potential "Bevy Community" organization to adopt them.

Cart (Build A Better Buddy) really doesn't like typing! Considering how my game placed in the jam, it seems that a lot of you agree!
