What is LiveCode?

LiveCode is a multiplatform development environment which empowers you to create apps that run on every major device and platform -- iOS and Android as well as Mac, Windows and Linux Desktops, the Web and Server environments. On top of all that, it is open source!

What Can I Make With It?

While the focus of this event is games created with LiveCode, You can create just about any kind of application that you can imagine. This is an example of an iPad platformer designed in LiveCode. For an idea of the many different things you can create with LiveCode, check out the LiveCode Showcase.

Where can I get It?

LiveCode can be downloaded from the LiveCode Website. If you use the open source community edition, please see the licensing information. In short, if you are using the free community edition, you will be required to upload or make available, a copy of your source under the terms of the GPL license. We would love if everyone would share their source with the community, but we understand that not everyone may feel this way. If you are an indy,commercial, or pro licence holder, you will not be required to share source.

What can I submit?

You can submit ANY game that has been created in LiveCode. We want as many people as possible to submit games, so for the Very First LiveCode Game Jam we will allow any LiveCode created game, no matter when it was created. Even if it has been released elsewhere already, we still encourage you to submit it to the jam. 

What are the prizes?

The prize for the highest ranking original* game submitted will win a 1 year Commercial Indy License of LiveCode!

*By original we mean games that are being released for the first time. Games that have already been released through another channel(i.e. app store, google play, etc) are welcome to enter the event, but will not be eligible for the Grand Prize.
