Do we have to use an engine

I wanted to participate in the game jam but I realised I didn't really knew any engine and I thought it would be fun to make the game in c++ using open gl. I know this is not a good idea but I want to know if my submission will get accepted or not.

Given the spirit is making things, I don't see why not. I probably will not use an engine (or perhaps a minimal one, depending on your definition).

You might want to find a project template/sample Makefile beforehand so you don't spend too much time at the start wiring things up.

ngl i aldready coded the whole base of the game

Looks like this has been answered before: "Any engine/coding language is fine!" https://itch.io/jam/theveryseriousjuniperdevgamejam/topic/6374695/what-game-engi...
