GDxJam#1

Dear fellow GDians,
I'm sure you all enjoy the few extensions GDevelop has in store for you, and I'm also sure you would like to have many more to choose from.
Therefore, we decided to make a GDevelop jam event focused on GDevelop extensions. The goal will be to build the best extension possible related to a chosen theme.
The theme will be given on the start day of the jam, and you will have **one week** to create your extension and submit it for review.
The theme will be rather general to encourage variety in the submissions. Ideally, a single jam could lead to up to three published extensions.
For instance, if the theme is "health indicator", you can make any type of health display system (a bar above the player's head, a bar at the top of the screen, a circle below the player's feet, etc.). You can offer anything of course, like changing the player's opacity according to its health, but bear in mind that your extension might be published for the whole community, so you should strive for the most universal/compatible game mechanics.

So everyone... Welcome to the first GDxJam! (it reads jeedexjam /dʒɪdeksdʒæm/. Please practice it so you feel comfortable talking about it with your friends, imaginary or not! :grinning:)

The theme for this first edition will be announced on [Sunday, March 1st] and the deadline for submitting the extensions will be [Sunday, March 8th 23:59 GMT].
The winners will be announced on the following Sunday evening [March 15th].

The rules are:
- Do it yourself, alone, or as a team if you agree on splitting the wonderous prizes we have in store (namely, eternal gratitude from the people who'll use it, and a fancy badge on the forum)
- Seven days, no exceptions
- Only one extension per person/team
- You are allowed to provide sprites if you think they are necessary for your extension to be fully functional/visible, but we ask you to provide *CC0* sprites. CC0 is the "no copyright reserved" option in the Creative Commons toolkit - it effectively means relinquishing all copyright and similar rights that you hold in a work and dedicating those rights to the public domain.
- To submit your extension, host your .json file on easyupload.io or paste the text on pastebin.com and send a private message to "@moderators" with the link and the name of any GDevelop official example that should be used to test the extension.
- The extensions will be judged on the following criteria: usability (for game makers), quality of the events (for the jury and for advanced game makers), compatibility (with different game mechanics), innovation and purpose.
- The winner(s) will be decided by a jury composed of any forum moderators and Discord regulars (purple nicknames) nice enough to participate.
- Members of the jury **cannot** submit extensions but will be encouraged to correct the winning submission(s) before publishing.

Detailed evaluation criteria for the jury:
- UX/UI: settings/actions/labels are easy to use and understand
- Event quality:
	- Clean: no garbage, no useless items/events
	- Clear: events are properly structured or commented
	- Concise: no unneeded intermediary events or variables
	- Conventional: adequate naming of variables to avoid potential conflicts
	- Classy: no better way to do it
- Compatibility: can be used in a variety of situations/mechanics
- Innovation: anything unusual, creative in the way the theme is applied
- Purpose: is it how you imagined it, what you think you would need or like to have
