Welcome to the first Python Discord Game Jam!

The theme for this game jam is Three-of-a-kind.

What you do with this theme or how you interpret it is up to you, but it will be your task to come up with something fun using this theme.

The chosen technology for this game jam is Arcade.

Arcade is a simple-to-use, modern and powerful game development framework for Python. We know that a lot of you are probably relatively new to this framework and that's why we've got the creator of Arcade, Paul Craven, hanging out in the #game-jam channel to help. Feel free to ask if you've got questions about Arcade!

Getting Started

1. Fork this repository

Start by forking this repository. If you're working as a team, only one person needs to do this.

2. Create a team folder in the repo

You should come up with some team name, and then create a folder in the root of this repository with your team name. All your project files must be contained within your team's subdirectory. If you make any changes to files other than those in your team folder, we will not be able to merge your PR, and may have to disqualify your submission.

3. Study the guides and guidelines

We have written several documents that you should read through if you haven't done so already. These can all be accessed from the sidebar on the main event page on our website. The most important pages to work through can be found here:

• Rules
• Judging
• Technical Requirements
• Project Setup

4. Create a pull request

Open a pull request from your fork's master to the master branch of this repository in order to submit your project. You should use the name of your team as the name of the pull request.

5. Commit to your master branch

The pull request you created will be automatically updated whenever you push code to master on your fork, so you can create the pull request whenever you want and you only have to do it once. You do not need to wait until the very end of the game jam before you do it. Just keep pushing code to your master branch and do your best to finish before the game jam ends!

If you are working as a team, you should consider learning about feature branches so that you don't all work directly on the master branch and cause each other a bunch of conflicts. For a short explanation of how this works, see this video.
