No, you can use whatever you want! But give Kaboom a shot. If you have any questions or concerns about it, let us know!
Good luck to all those who are interested! We would also appreciate any feedback on your experiences with kaboom.js after you are done with your game!
pogger
why did you spam everyone, it was very rude @Coder100
Jam board isnt open yet, so heres my [submission] (https://replit.com/talk/share/Kaboom-Jam-submission/129768)
Donβt take the word βjamβ seriously, if you are new to coding and you are thinking of strawberry jam!
@Rishan001 sounds tasty.
@Rishan001 nah, im thinking of kaboom jam right now :)
do you think jam that explodes is tasty?
Does anyone wanna work with me? I don't know much with kaboom.js, so anyone with good knowledge of it I would love to work with!
uuu sry didn't see ur comment JB( @JBloves27 ) u wanna work with this dude / gal. I have chatted with him / her on repl DM once when we both had the same problem. @TheC0derGirl
@Whippingdot oh ok thanks!
oahhh, I'm so excited and looking forward to it!
Trust me! @word unscrambler
Another bug is found: the keyRelease
method of "Shift" key does not work. Any1 can fix this bug?
@slmjkdbtl π
Hey @TheDrone7 when do you think results will come out :D!
your pew pew game was epic @RayhanADev . no doubt that you win the jam
@IcynHackz nah I doubt it some on else will probably get first xD
Did you see that tank one in the newsletter I'm scared for my life
I know the jam's ended, but someone's project was imported from scratch, so there's literally nothing in the .js file. There is, however, a long (emphasis on long) url-like thing.
So based on experience, 99% of it was imported from Scratch. Does this submission count or not?
https://replit.com/talk/share/Hordesio-Open-Beta/114418
(The owner of the project is the same person as @HyperGamerStudio or something)
@Kookiez yeah, they were banned before (my past on Replit is coming to haunt me :O)
i don't think it counts and I reported it :/
@RayhanADev Yeah, they/he/she was kinda obnoxious.
@thedrone7 Idk how the gift card would be given tho lol, my email is unable to receive emails to the inbox lol
@TheDrone7 My submission since the Jam board still isn't open :D
Hey guys!
Just a newbie on repl haha
Wanna know if any1 wants to form a group lol
Hit me back and i'll add you to my discord
Trent x
Me : checks share to look at interesting posts, finds this
"You will be given 1 week time..."
Also Me : looks at post time
7 days ago
Me : proceeds to break keyboard
btw is there any way that we can know when a jam is coming, because I tend to miss out on good jams and events because I didn't check repl talk
@GhostKing007 There's still one day left, it's due 3/19
@IntellectualGuy - It took me a day to see your comment lol
@GhostKing007 You still have until 11:59 p.m. today
@IntellectualGuy and then they still haven't unlocked the jam board yet :/
@RayhanADev yeah, they haven't but now im deciding not to participate; i haven't even started on the game part :(
is there any way I can submit a repl without going on discord?
@RhinoRunner Yes, you can also submit by creating a post at https://replit.com/talk/jam. (It could still be locked, but it'll be unlocked before the contest ends if it is.)
@Zavexeon could you (or Drone since he's an admin) please unlock the jam board, it's still locked as of March 18th :D
@Zavexeon yes please, i agree with ray
@RayhanADev the admin tools are broken. I've asked the devs to do it manually, however.
@Zavexeon ok thanks
@TheDrone7 kewl thank's drone
I wish I was good with web design... :/
I'm a developer though...
@Baconman321 you're pretty good with web design and backend imo. i'm only ok with frontend... but i dunno whether i need someone to work with me or not Β―_(γ)_/Β―. i think you should participate in the jam, you're pretty good :)
@Baconman321 ? what does "i already asked tussiez" mean
@Kookiez I already asked someone else to collab. If they say no then maybe I'll work with you guys. I just need to get used to kaboom.js first...
@Baconman321 oh, i never asked to collab with you, i just said you should participate in the jam.
@Kookiez Oh ok...
nvm then.
I never compete cause I don't know enough code.
@LingWu1 Well im doing it even thought I dont know very much. You should do it even if you dont think you can, since its a great learning experience and then you can say, "hey, I did this, and it was fun".
I don't think there's any way to do this in python.
Goes back to working on a text game
@IcingHackz pygame?
@IcynHackz you could make it ASCII-based
π
^ Something like that could be the player
@IcynHackz I'm not quite sure how, but I know it's possible
nice
kaboomjs documentation needs improvement - it doesn't explain anything, just gives definitions to what the functions do. More examples please.
Anyone willing to work with me? I'd like to work with someone who has prior knowledge with kaboom.js. I'm pretty much an intermediate level web dev.
@Kookiez i am. I am certfied web developer wuth w3schools certification. I can definitely help you out. We can work together
@CoderBroDev do you know some backend/learned a bit of kaboom.js?
anyone wanna work together on this? i can do some stuff in javacript but i can do alot more in python.
@AntimatterDev
maybe I can do it with you?
@darkdarcool yeah id be cool with that. ill invite you to a team on my alt account because im full for teams on my main.
cool, i dont think i will use kaboom, anyone know game dev with js?
do i have to use a kaboom repl or is there some cdn that I can link in my HTML repl?
@lightningrock Please refer to the documentation linked in the post for proper steps to get started.
@TheDrone7 The doc doesn't say anything Β―_(γ)_/Β―
@lightningrock oh, my bad! I just realized these docs don't have it. I'll ask them to update it ASAP. But basically, it is a CDN you can find it in the examples.
@TheDrone7 the examples only have the javascript :(
or is it not on the docs site?
@lightningrock try on replit - index.html
i dont know js so im gonna use pygame
WHo are the judges? and what is it judged on?
dibs on first place π³
@frissyn I'll try and give you some competition for first (β β>β β½ β<β β)
B) we got this @frissyn
Can oi be on a team wit ya? Oi need ta larn how to make JS goimes @frissyn
Why you talk like that? @Whippingdot
cus oi wunt tu @bennyrobert
Well I doubt anyone will team with a guy who speaks like you do @Whippingdot
hey y u bully me. I have many friends - such as @RayhanADev, @JBloves27,
@angrydogeangryfroge, @TsunamiOrSumth, @CSharpIsGud, @Codemonkey51, @FlaminHotValdez etc. If you don't like me, keep those feelings to urself. ππππ. @bennyrobertP.S. I think what u said was a joke, but if not u mean BOI.
P.S.P.S. I can speak however I want. i have the
rightwrite to speech.P.S.P.S.P.S. I have a translator for my calculator soon if @VulcanWM helps me as I am trash at coding.
P.S.P.S.P.S.P.S. Sorry for the mass pings gois
@Whippingdot Wow dude looks like you are insanely popular, I'll make sure not to mess with you.
Uh, u decide not to mess with him bc hes popular? dude, thats messed up @bennyrobert
lul is that sarcasm π€£π€£π€£π€£ @bennyrobert
thanks for replying
i forced u to in the repl chat lul. @JBloves27. @bennyrobert Also ya I just realized that u don't mess with me cause I am popular? Bruh that is bad. U r one of those guys who upvote all of Coder100's postsI'm scared of the superior species is all @JBloves27
@bennyrobert Coder100 is the one that is insanely popular, he doesn't even have to put effort into a post to get 60 more cycles anymore.
I only upvote the ones which he helped me in or he made me laugh in a conversation with him. @Whippingdot
lul tru. read my comment I said the exact same thing in different words @CSharpIsGud
πππππππππππππππππππ @bennyrobert
Ik who he is. But I'm not a weirdo who upvotes his posts, Idc about this website so much that people like him are gods or something @CSharpIsGud
There was no need for that spam, @Whippingdot
gud jub...tho he says in his bio that he is a CoderGod lul @bennyrobert
That's an ego if I ever saw one @Whippingdot
bruh u r the one spamming i keep replying to a different comment but u make another one. BTW this is a reply to
and the gud jub thing was for
@bennyrobert
@bennyrobert Then just continue not caring about this website. You can't not care about a website if you are literally caring about the notifications sent by said website.
lul i like dissing him but then someone else says he is gud at coding so i be quiet. maybe don't express ur feelings @bennyrobert
these tru words were spoken by CPlusPlusIsGud. I told him to change his name to that but he isn't listening to me... Also I promise this is not sarcasm @CSharpIsGud
@Whippingdot Don't mass ping for something like this please! Next time I'll delete the comment. If you feel that some people bully you, take it up with the moderators. (Which I don't think is the case tbh)
I actually had to scroll out so I could screen shot this:
@Whippingdot
Most of these are yours.
wait a sec, ur a MOD!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD!!! When did that happen. Also I know I shudn't, that comment was supposed to be a joke, sry won't do it next time. Also if I work on a team of 20 people on a project I can ping them all in a post...right? @frissyn
bruh I promise I didn't do that... or at least I think I do promise. I didn't ping you that many times, 100 % @bennyrobert
MASS PONG @Whippingdot
Ah right, I'm sorry, there must be a glitch were Replit sends you random pings for no reason. @Whippingdot
If you go on your notifications you'll see the same thing from me because I am replying to you.
Were all humans, @bennyrobert
Well said. @angrydoge
Ya frissyn(IreTheKid) got angry for me because of it πππππππ @angrydoge
Tru words @angrydoge
lol @RayhanADev https://replit.com/talk/share/Hordesio-Open-Beta/114418 this is I think, a winner lol
meanies

imagine not having 16k cycles peasant
@CSharpIsGud
@frissyn smh I already called dibs
imagine getting upvotes on all your posts just because your coder100 and not any other reason... @Coder100
idk i'm not the person doing it @SeamusDonahue
