Questions!
All right, new guy has some questions:
1. When we talk about base code, what are we talking about? I mean, I have some programs that I have made lately that experiment with physics, as well as a program that does some grid-based graphics placing. I am not even sure I would use them, but what exactly do I need to declare for use in the game, per se? Do I need to declare what I intend to use for graphics and sounds?
2. Can you post games directly to the site? I would think not, but I’m asking anyway. If not, any convenient place I could sign up for quickly that won’t hurt me with sign-up fees and stuff?

– I you want to use some of your earlier code, you must make it public and available for anyone prior to the start of the jam. I’m pretty sure all your graphics and sounds have to be done during the 48h, so I think you can’t re-use anything.

1. You could just tell what language/IDE you use, if you’re using any libraries, it would be good to mention them as well =) People usually also tell what programs they use for gfx + sound.

Is it necessary to declare these in order to use them though? In the rules, it talks about making stuff public in order to use them. If I wanted to use my physics experiments, would I have to post them to this site?
