• GameMaker
• .exe games
• Python

------------------------------Any Rules?-------------------------------

Why yes, there are rules.

• No use of AI or plagiarism is allowed and measures will be in place to detect both. If caught, you will be disqualified instantly
• DO NOT attempt to sabotage other teams in any way shape or form
• Ask yourself if your game can be displayed in school. If the answer is no, then you probably shouldn't submit it
• Keep everything confidential, DO NOT tell your friends about your game and skew the results in your favor. Any suspicious behavior will be reviewed and may cause disqualification. 
• Avoid sharing any personal details as anyone with the link to this jam can access it
• If you are participating as part of a team, please provide the name of your game and the names of your teammates during the game submission process. An option will appear to allow you to fill out this information.

If you make a game on Roblox, YOU MUST have the words "SBS Game Jam" in the title of the game.

-------------------------------Judging---------------------------------

We have allocated specific judges to play through your games before the main event begins and filter out games until the top games survive. Anyone from that point can go to the Computer Science Lab and vote on your games. 

Judges (not the audience) will rank your games on the following categories:

1. Playability (How easily a person can understand the game logic and successfully play it)
2. Visuals (Pretty self explanatory, how well a game looks and how appealing it is to play)
3. Compatibility (If the core of the game works properly or not, and this includes bugs which may disrupt the game experience)
4. Engagement (How fun the game itself is)

The audience will then rank the game as they wish when the event is live.
