Question about what exactly “base code” means in the rules for The Jam…
Okay so I’m a first timer looking to enter the Jam with my two brothers in LD34– I see that you’re allowed to use pre-made assets that belong to you, and we’re also allowed to use any “base code” we’ve come up with beforehand. I was just wondering what this means? I mean obviously you cant come in with a game you’ve been working on for 4 years prior and just polish it up and submit it, but where do we draw the line as to what counts as base code?

Generally speaking it means anything you would typically use when you start a new project. If say you were making a 2D game with tiled maps, you could borrow that code that draws the grid of tiles if you wanted.
