I've been amazed by this jam. It's like bigger and better every year (in terms of jams going deeper and deeper).

I imagine we're 5 years away of "Make your own OS, language, compiler, VM and game in 12 minutes, 36 seconds. Extra points if you gave yourself a stroke."

If you want to make a game about apple pie from scratch…

That could actually be really cool:

Create a simulation of a universe with arbitrary physical laws, have it evolve sentient life, and submit the first video game they develop which matches the theme. The theme this year is "rotations". You have 48 hours. Go.

A decade ago I ran several “seven hour roguelikes”, https://web.archive.org/web/20160321153532/http://people.cla... is the documentation from the first one.

The first year I spent six hours writing one of the first ecs crates in Rust and then an hour turning it into a game. lots of fun! you can search “7HRL” on github to find the historical participants not too ashamed to publicize their code at the end. A few dozen people enjoyed this.
