Question about the presentation at the festival

Hi! I'm a little bit confused on the format of this event, will it be like an actual arcade gallery, with the old fashioned arcade games or will it just be a bunch of computers. I'm a little bit confused if I should be programming to support arcade game console buttons or just mouse and keyboard. Like one of these? (sorry that the image is big) ---->
GAME OVER – Retro 80's Arcade Machines – Retro Arcade Video Game Machines  (10 000 Game-in-1)

Hi, thanks for the question! The arcade will just be desktop computers so please program as you would for mouse and keyboard. We will also have a few controllers for the arcade if you'd prefer to program for something like a Logitech controller. Hope this helps.

we are not required to be in person for this event correct??? im confused as to why it says judged in cork?

Host

Correct! The games will be rated by guests at the In the Making Festival in Cork, but they will be communicated via judge scores here on itch.io. So nobody is required to be in person for the event! For instance, if the average audience score at the festival is 5, we would rate the game here as 5 in the given criteria.
