Confusion about base-code

I have read the LD rules weeks before doing this and re-read them before the jam started and it said you can have any base-code before starting. But I stumbled upon some older posts where people said you have to make that base-code available before the jam starts. There is no such thing in the rules. All it says is I should make the source available later. So I just wanted to make sure. I've written 2 classes just for menu buttons and sliders before the jam and wanted to use them.
