Every year's CCJam has been exponentially more successful than the last. With that in mind, I am proud to announce CCJam 2016 with high hopes!
What is CCJam?
CCJam is an annual ComputerCraft programming contest, held since 2013. People of all skill levels are encouraged to participate! Per tradition, players livestream their progress on Twitch or YouTube, but this is not required.
When is it?
This year's event will start on Friday, June 24. This is when you should start working on your program, and optionally, livestream it!
You'll have until Saturday, July 2 to finish and submit your program to the judges. Even if you don't finish it by then, you are still recommended to submit it anyways, because you'll get very valuable insight and advice from the judges.
You can see a live countdown on the CCJam homepage.
How do I join?
Post a reply here saying that you would like to join! Optionally, include a link to your project's future livestream and repository. Remember, you can't start working on your project until Friday, June 24, although you are allowed to use APIs that were released to the public on or before the date of this post.
The Judges:
- 3d6 - founder of Krist
- 1lann - founder of Firewolf
- oeed - founder of OneOS
- Lur_ - owner of LurCraft
- apemanzilla - returning judge from CCJam 2014
The judges will grade your program based on 5 categories. Your program's final score is the average of the scores that you have received from the 5 judges. The 5 categories are:
- Creativity (0-3)
- Usefulness (0-10), or if it's a game, Fun (0-10)
- Design (0-6)
- Speed (0-4)
- Functionality (0-10)
The top 3 programs will receive medals - either gold, silver, or bronze. These are currently the most prestigious awards given by any organization in ComputerCraft. These top 3 placements also come with prize money in the form of Krist, as an extra bonus.
