Rusty Jam #109

Open AngelOnFira opened 2 years ago

AngelOnFira commented 2 years ago

The Rusty Jam will be happening next week. This is a jam being run by @ElhamAryanpur, @Voodlaz, and myself. Hopefully, this will be a primer for future jams in Rust!

I'm looking for any feedback on the rules/modifiers, or anything else about the setup :)

Currently, the modifiers are:

1. Keeping it safe - Don't use any unsafe Rust (it's ok if subcrates do though)
2. What's the standard library? - Your final binary needs to be less than 5 MB
3. ??? - Don't have any text in your game
4. Connected - Include some type of network functionality
5. It's moddable - Make use of the Mun scripting language

One item I'm wondering about is for the What's the standard library?, is 5 MB too large for a challenge? Should this be reduced to 1 MB?

Any other modifier suggestions are welcome!

As for outreach, I'll be promoting it on Reddit, Twitter, and various Rust Discord servers.

doing a no_std binary in rust is actually unexpectedly complex. That option is probably at least twice as arcane as the rest.

I might need to change the title, as the requirement is just that the binary size is small. I thought it would be a fun way of saying it, but I can make it more clear :P

Rust Jam 4

I've tried talking with the other co hosts on discord but seems unavailable. I was thinking about doing a fourth jam this year, some times near the end of July.

No modifier or theme has been decided yet so we have to brainstorm some good ones, and as far as I know no other jams related to Rust are happening at the time either so should be alright.

The schedule will be similar to the past jams:

1) announced on the monthly meetup, starting the team building week

2) at the end of the week, we can do two weekends or one week of the jam (imo one week length is pretty good). Submissions are open from the start until the end. Themes and modifiers are also announced at the start of the week.

3) Submissions are closed and rating week begins. At the end of the rating week, winners are announced.

What are your thoughts? Any theme, modifier, or timing change are welcome.
