Yes it can, but it should not download pre-made stuff other than APIs I allowed you or someone else to use for his program. Other than that, you can only download assets created by you in the CCJam time.
(so no downloading of images you created before the contest begin)

I still need SquidDev's, GreenGene's and ry00000's repository and twitch URL.

Well originally, the twitch thing was to be sure that all of you're code was coded in the contest time.
Ik, GitHub lets you see changes and when they were made, but it's still possible to paste some code that was not created in the contest time and let it look like it was created just then.

I'd like to watch you code :)/>

Does anyone plan to add game data customization? For example, I have the game data (that's binary data), but if the user makes a directory named "imgdata", and places some files inside, then runs "mkgdata.lua", then a custom game data will be created :D/> Mine is a bit hard to understand, especially the imgage part of it. But I made it so that the user doesn't have to remember stupid numbers, only English.

Who wants to remember, that "0" is "white"? Nobody.

You can simply use Lua's existing features and index the tables with a variable:

local function getColor (str)
  return colors[str] or colours[str]
end

--example: findin("cyan", colors, colours)
local function findin(wat, ...)
  local where = {...}
  local k, ret = false, nil
  local func = loadstring("return c." .. wat)
  for k,v in pairs(where) do
	setfenv(func, {c = v})
	k, ret = pcall(func)
	if k and ret then return ret end
  end
  return nil
end

--to use strings instead of tables, use "setfenv(func, {c = loadstring("return " .. v)()})" instead, but that's not so good

MindenCucc, on 18 June 2015 - 06:25 PM said:

local function getColor (str, ...)
  for _, container in ipairs{...} do
    if container[str] then
      return container[str]
    end
  end

I don't think that just for this you should be creating Lua code dynamically, the same can be done much easier and will execute a lot faster:

local function getColor (str, ...)
  for _, container in ipairs{...} do
	if container[str] then
	  return container[str]
	end
  end

I might join, if I'll find any time. But only if I'm allowed to use my (currently private) framework called 'Loo'. It's simply an OOP framework which allows to create classes and interfaces. Plus it has a few little functions and mods, like checking for __type metafield in type function, same with tonumber. Also, it has try..catch block and switch statement. But it's really nothing too much. Like I said, it's just an OOP framework, not a whole program. If you really want to, I can PM you the prototype (it's not quite done yet). I'll probably put it on the forums after the CC Jam :P/>.

There isn't going to be an ideal time for all users.

Typically, school runs during the Fall and Winter months, but people experience these seasons at different times depending on location. For those of us on the North American continent and in Europe, it's currently "Summer," so school is probably out for most. However, for those in the Eastern Hemisphere, school is currently running.

So, it's pretty difficult to find an ideal time for everyone given location and schedule.
