Make a game with Hoot for the Lisp Game Jam
Twice per year I co-host the Lisp Game Jam: a 10-day game jam where participants create small games in their favorite Lisp dialect. Unlike classic game jams like Ludum Dare, which have an intensive 2-3 day long duration, the Lisp Game Jam is much more casual and spans two whole weekends to give busy people (most of us!) more of a chance to complete a game.
Game jams are the perfect excuse to prototype a gameplay idea and get some practice managing the scope of a project to meet a due date. The Spring edition of the Lisp Game Jam starts this Friday, May 17th and is on track to be the biggest one yet with over 100 registered participants so far! Game jams are a great opportunity to "eat your own dog food" and put a technology stack to the test under time and resource constraints in a low stakes, fun way.
