This is the website for Jamalaide, a club at The University of Adelaide that aims to increase interest and activity in game design and development by running game jams and other social events. A game jam is an event where participants attempt to design and create games (depending on the event, can be digital or non-digital) within a short time period (typically 24 or 48 hours).
The website (http://www.jamalaide.org.au) is made using Django and runs on Google App Engine. Planned features include:
- Library of games from past jams, searchable by author, jam, awards, etc.
- Registration for future jams
- Information on futher development on games after jams
- Forums for discussion of game design and development, both relating to jams and in general
- User created tutorials
