thanks for the clarification. The rules made it seem like it was ok but definitely felt like it wasn’t in spirit at the jam. Thanks for the clarification.
"You may use pre-made, publicly available, and purchased assets,"
I got this from the rules page of the game jam. From this, and everything else I read, I guess you can make assets for the game jam, just not any code. I could still be wrong though, so maybe try asking one of the moderators of the jam?
