#Alakajam 21 update:
I'm working on a puzzle game where you have to stabilize a system of planets, considering how the gravity of each affects the others.

- Done with most programming. Fixing a bug with the collision detection in the simulation now.
- I have a little music track for level interludes.
- Need to make fun levels.
- Maybe make nicer graphics but this is not a priority.

alakajam.com21st Alakajam! | Alakajam!An Alakajam! event. Dates: 21-23 February 2025.

This weekend is the #alakajam gamejam, I've (unwisely?) chosen to do #nesdev for it. Normally I limit myself to the most basic NES cart configuration but for this jam I'm giving myself access to the powerful nintendo MMC5 and as much romsize as I like to try and make a vertical scroller with parallax. Happy enough with the vertical component but the horizontal element is kind of jumpy for not much benefit. Still, it's a gamejam and experimentation is OK right?

👋 It is I, the Jamician of Alakajam! 🧙

I represent alakajam.com, a friendly magical game jamming and gamedev community. All beings are welcome.

How does a game jam work? Well, often we submit themes - like "labyrinth" or "GIANT ROBOTS" - and choose the best in a vote. 📝

Then when the theme is announced, we all scramble to make a game using the theme. 👾

Finally, we play the games! Sometimes we even choose a winner. 🏅

Let's jam! 🥳
