[Toronto-dev] Anyone interested in a Game Jam?

[Mike C. Fletcher]

Hi Everyone,

It's been very quiet on the list (mostly my fault).  Let's kick-start 
some discussion with a straw-man proposal...

I'd love to have a Game Jam some weekend, come together Friday night, 
Saturday and Sunday to produce a working game for the laptop.  We can 
likely find sponsors willing to provide us with work-space, maybe even 
some food here and there.  We'd try to make the code usable as sample 
code, so using e.g. Telepathy for networking, PyGame for graphics and 
the like, but the focus would be on making a game that children will 
actually enjoy playing and which might teach something of value.

I'm thinking mid-November, maybe the weekend of the 16th, though that's 
just a date pulled out of the air.

Anyway, consider the straw man open for kicking,
Mike
