THE CONTEST STARTS AT 12:00 GMT ON FRIDAY THE 13TH AND ENDS 72 HOURS LATER AT 23:59 GMT ON SUNDAY THE 15TH. PLEASE BE ON THE IRC CHANNEL IF YOU ARE WORKING. THANK YOU.
Welcome all, to CCJam! CCJam, for those of you who don't know, was an attempted ModJam-like competition back in 2013 that never really started. Today, I hope to ressurect this competition. The projected date is June 13th (A Friday) through June 15 (A Sunday). You do not need to be here for all that time, but that is the only time you can work on your CCJam project. While I would love to have everyone stream and/or use GitHub/Bitbucket, I realize that that is not possible, and will therefore (as of now) run this competition on the honor system. The rules are as follows:

Programs are split into 2 categories: Turtle and Computer
Computer programs will be judged by usefulness, user-friendlyness, and design
Turtle programs will be judged by usefulness, user-friendlyness, and simplicity
Judges are not allowed to participate
All code written for this event is able to be reviewed by the judges
APIs ARE allowed, just remember that judges will be looking through them, and it must be open source to release to the public.
Plagarism is NOT allowed
All programs must be submitted by the end of the period on Esper.net at #ccjam by the end of the time alloted (preferably in a pastebin or github format)
You may use CC (Latest 1.6.4 release) along with the latest OpenPeripherals release.
ALL RULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Please sign up by either messaging me or here: http://ccjam.ml

Staff List:
Csstform (Project Leader)
Death (Website Dev)

Judges:
Cruor (#computercraft OP)
Apemanzilla (member of the GoldProgramming organization)

Contestants list coming soon.

Thanks to AwsmazingGenius for the awesome logo!

Thanks!

Also, I think we should take the Ludum Dare approach and allow external/old APIs and such as long as they are approved (that way they can still use a coroutine manager, but can't write an "API" that has one function containing their whole program)

Otherwise, we could provide a set of APIs everyone can use.

Hmm. I think you may have a good idea, but I would say maybe only use pre-approved globally available API's, such as Gopher's or others. Also, modpack is down, the mods installed are ComputerCraft and OpenP on 1.6.4, for any who want to stay away from the technic launcher.

Which versions? CC 1.63 + beta build of OPe or 1.5 + standard build?

Also, I have a basic UI API which we could allow. It only really adds a scrolling list prompt and scrolling text box, but, eh - saves a bit of coding.

Nooo, I have final exams and I have to study, so I can't participate, although I would like to be a judge too, although for GUI and some basic lua(not like opening a door, but like everything except metatables, getting hang of it now). But good luck, hope to see good works from this thing

tags.

EDIT: Website bug. If I click the "IRC" button, join a channel, x out the modal and then try and close my tab, I get a message whining to me about my irc connections.

Too many judges, not enough particapants. For the above wanna-be judges, please consider being a particapant instead, as I am not planning on having more judges. IF the problem with participating is a date issue, contact me, and we /may/ be able to change the date. Thanks.

NOTE: @PixelToast: let's hope history doesn't repeat itself.

I'd like to participate. But there's a few things I disagree with/have questions about.

APIs - At the very least I'd like to be able to use my Drawing API.
Template code - For 99% of my programs I use a basic template which is essentially event and click handling, shown in the spoiler below.
Environment - Would I be able to run it in OneOS?
Timezones - Will 'Friday' be my Friday, which would be your Thursday or is it based of GMT or something?
Content - Is the program content up to you, or does it have to be a certain topic/theme?

Spoiler


function Initialise()
EventRegister('mouse_click', TryClick)
	    -- these are OneOS API buttons, so I won't necessarily use them
yesButton = Button:Initialise(Drawing.Screen.Width - 6, Drawing.Screen.Height - 1, nil, 1, colours.green, colours.white, nil, nil, nil, function(self, x, y, toggle) OneOS.Run('/Programs/App Store.program/', 'install', applicationID, 'Games', true) OneOS.Close() end, 'Yes'):Register()
noButton = Button:Initialise(Drawing.Screen.Width - 11, Drawing.Screen.Height - 1, nil, 1, colours.red, colours.white, nil, nil, nil, function(self, x, y, toggle) OneOS.Close() end, 'No'):Register()
Draw()
EventHandler()
end
-- example drawing code
function Draw()
Drawing.Clear(colours.white)
Drawing.DrawBlankArea(1, 1, Drawing.Screen.Width, 3, colours.grey)
Drawing.DrawCharacters(#applicationName + 3, 2, 'Install', colours.lightGrey, colours.grey)
Drawing.DrawCharacters(2, 2, applicationName, colours.white, colours.grey)
for i, elem in ipairs(InterfaceElements) do
  if elem.Draw then
   RegisterClick(elem)
   elem:Draw()
  end
end
local lines = Helpers.WrapText('To save disc space, OneOS does not come with '..applicationName..' downloaded by default. Do you want to download it now?', Drawing.Screen.Width - 4)
for i, v in ipairs(lines) do
  Drawing.DrawCharacters(3, 4+i, lines[i], colours.black, colours.white)
end
Drawing.DrawBuffer()
end
MainDraw = Draw
function RegisterElement(elem)
table.insert(InterfaceElements, elem)
end
function UnregisterElement(elem)

  if elem == e then
   InterfaceElements[i] = nil
  end
end
end

end
function CheckClick(object, x, y)
local pos = GetAbsolutePosition(object)
if pos.X <= x and pos.Y <= y and  pos.X + object.Width > x and pos.Y + object.Height > y then
  return true
end
end
function DoClick(event, object, side, x, y)
if object and CheckClick(object, x, y) then
  return object:Click(side, x - object.X + 1, y - object.Y + 1)
end
end

   return

  return {X = obj.X, Y = obj.Y}
else
  local pos = GetAbsolutePosition(obj.Parent)
  local x = pos.X + obj.X - 1
  local y = pos.Y + obj.Y - 1
  return {X = x, Y = y}
end
end

All times are going to be GTM, so as to prevent confusion for me, dates are being reconsidered, and API rules (and a few other rules) are being considered. It seems like a lot of people are not available at the set time (I should have asked first) and we /may/ move it. As for content…… no real 'planned' theme, just useful programs, not games.

@oeed I'd say APIs are definitely a possibility as Csst said, and a template would probably be okay as well as long as you're not having your whole program as the "template." For using OneOS as the environment, I doubt that that this would be allowed as it gives you access to literally every API and program included in OneOS, which would catapult you far beyond what others have.

Yea, I guess you're right about running it in OneOS.

In regards to APIs again, maybe allowing a set number (maybe 3 or 4) APIs would be the way to go, maybe having them checked first.

I think GitHub should be enforced to ensure that people aren't doing work prior.

People always can save it locally prior to date and upload it when it's almost over. Streaming is the only way to check if it has been written at those dates

Just make people sync it to git every hour or so while they're working on it. Should be pretty easy to distinguish between some in-progress work, and someone just copy pasting complete sections.

I don't fully agree with "No Template stuff": What about adding third party APIs/Programs? like JVML-JIT? "No Template Stuff" in ModJam is because you shouldn't prepare code for you project, I think.

That is the reason I am nervous about allowing APIs. For now, if you wish to use an API, send it to me, and I'll look over it to make sure it doesn't give an unfair advantage. Also, I may decide to put the APIs in the ROM, for everyone's access.

Oh, by start coding I mean get the fundamentals down, as in my idea and my template, like Oeeds.
And I use individual templates for all my programs.

Correct, the coding is to be done the days designated. Expect specific times based off GMT within the week.

Alright! We are a week away, I hope you are all prepared for this. We will start at noon on Friday, June 13th GMT and end on Sunday June 15th the same time.

About APIs. Here is what I've decided: All submitted programs will be looked over by the judges, face-value and through the code. If you are ok with the judges looking through your API as well, then you may use it. If you think it will give you an unfair advantage over other players, then dont use it for the sake of the competition.

Other rules: IF POSSIBLE, please be in the IRC chat while you are coding, just so that I and the other judges know when you are coding. Please use github repositories (or bitbucket if that fits you better, just not private) and update them regularly. I expect a link to your finished program/github repo on the irc channel, or messaged to me on the forums by 12:00 noon on Sunday.

Please post below once more if you wish to participate, just so I know whether or not you can still make it. Thanks!

If they upload to github, then we can just watch the pushs to check who pushed first. Plagarism /shouldn't/ be a problem.

I also have a question; Do all programs go, or are we supposed to make something thats actually useful?

Because that will determine if I'm going to program a game, or make my Todo list v2.

It's supposed to be something that someone would actually use. So either really works. Just not something like the "hello" program.

I've been thinking of joining but I have a question, and My question is:
Are we allowed to use things like text editors and ides outside of Minecraft (not just ccemu or something) but something like a lua ide that would help some with coding - an outside tool if you will

this would also open up possibilities for people with crappy computers to join -although I probably wont be able to stream with my 2.6ghz single core cpu and 1gb of ram although I have 30-50mb/s internet

I'm very certain that that's the case. It's pretty much virtually impossible to make anything serious (even for a jam) in edit. On non-English keyboards you can't even type things like square or swirly brackets because Alt Gr is bound to the menu making it literally impossible to write a decent program.

You'd press it once to open the menu, then press the correct combination to create the character, just like when you paste things into edit. Also, you could copy and modify the edit program to use a different key for the menu.

Yes, it's fine.

I don't see how a theme would make it any easier. In fact it may make it more difficult for users to create projects that conform to that theme. And we're too close to really change it anyways.

You may program for the Pocket Computer, yes.

Maybe next time we will come up with a theme, but as Apemanzilla said, it needs to be decided further before hand. As for streaming, it is ENCOURAGED.

Ok, so as mid-day GMT on Friday is about 9:30pm for me and I won't be able to submit my entry at that time on the Sunday either, would it be possible to have my start time pull back to 6pm for me, so 8:30am GMT?

It would also be useful if the rules on the main post could be updated with all the rules discussed (especially in regards to APIs).

Also, as InputUsername said, what should we be using to stream? I'm not really familiar with streaming.

Here's what we'll do. We'll start at 12:00 AM GMT on Friday and end at 23:59 (11:59 PM) on Sunday. That should accomodate all time zones, as I don't want to make a special exception for you. (Australia?)

As for streaming, I havent done it, but these were suggested to me:
http://obsproject.com/
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash-media-encoder.html

And I'll try to fix the topic when I get a chance.

I don't make the rules but I can tell you that it doesn't matter because every platform allows you to achieve the same goal. It's encouraged to stream and/or use a source control management system in order to prove that you're writing the code in the given time span.

Streaming is encouraged, but optional as we realize that not everyone can handle streaming. It is to ensure that people are working on it ONLY between the allowed times.

I won't be able to watch the streams as (at least for most of the 13th) I'll be on the plane, but I will help judge the finished projects.

Okay, here is a "tutorial" on how to use my program I made for CCJam:

Spoiler

You can find it here:https://github.com/TheFreakLord/CCJam-2014

Small explaination of what the different files are used for:

Spoiler

buttonAPI: very self-explanatory. just a little button API I wrote for CCJam
sandboxAPI: this file is used by both programs to load the config, I was to lazy to copy the code in both files xD
sandbox.lua: the "core" of the program which is doing the actual sandboxing
sandbox-gui.lua: just a wrapper for sandbox.lua.
main.lua: a "fake virus" which is just creating a startup file with no content. I used this to test the sandbox.

Instructions on how to use the program:

Download everything and place it in the ROOT (!!!) of your computer. I don't know why but it throws errors when trying it in other folders then the root.
if "more advanced user", run sandbox.lua and inspect the command page it shows. as "advanced user" you should know what it does ^^
as "normal" user, run sandbox-gui.lua and test it. IMO the GUI is very "easy" to use. (Only if you actually know what a sandbox is)
Have fun with it!

Known Bugs

When the program isn't ran in root it won't work
When edititng an existing sandbox, it will remove the old one from the config, but won't remove the folder

I want to propose a new CCJam as I couldn't make it this weekend and this is small scale anyway, unlike modjam.

I want to organise it if it's necessary and this is very early date to do this again. I am planning to do this 1.5 month after the results of this jam are in.

I'd like some feedback on this, or some variation in this. Maybe we can even come up with some theme or something :P/>

Sure, so somewhere around late august? I'd be fine with that. We do need a better website, so if any of you web geniuses want to give it a shot, contact me. Also, I think we need a prize or something to entice more people into competing. As for a theme, I've been thinking about that.

Yeah, I could tell you were in need of a slightly better website (Simple Bootstrap page (you can use Bootstrap with your own CSS (preferably Less, but whatever.), not using semantic elements properly (div instead of nav for the navbar?!?), etc.) I can kinda-sorta do web design (I can send you the source code of a website (the site looks nice, but the code looks bad.) if you'd like. I'm much better then when I made that site now though.). Though I like to use HTML/CSS and keep JS out of the picture (except for polyfills and Ajax), I can do JS if required. If you need server-side stuff, which is unlikely, but whatever, I can do some Ruby on Rails, which I much prefer to PHP for various personal reasons.

EDIT: Forgot to actually offer my help! Yeah, shoot me a pm if you want my help.

ALRIGHT! Results are in! After careful consideration, I can congratulate not one, but two of you on attaining first place. As I had no time to judge, I defered to the other two judges, who each leaned to one, but rated the other high as well. Second and third will be released in a bit.

Lignum: Both judges found your entry creative and semi-easy to pick up. I hope you do well again next time!

ElvishJerricho: While both judges were minorly (or majorly) confused about LuaLua, they both agreed that your code was very well written. Please continue to write good programs!

Everyone: If you are interested in what the judges had to say about your project, I can send you their comments, although I must warn that they did not hesitate on bashing any mistakes they found.

Engineer: PM me about the next CCJam if you are still interested. As for the website, something came up and awsmazinggenius cannot continue working on it. Contact me if you are interested.
