We could not come up with a reason to choose one over the other. ScummPy is a fantastic effort that shows a genre of games never seen on Pokitto before. Noggin is a deep and polished logic game that we have never come across before.
Prizes
Best game overall and best effort will get Pokitto + Pokitto T-shirt
Best idea prize will be split between @jpfli and @spinal. They both get Pokitto T-Shirts or Pokitto Mugs according to their wish
I still feel overwhelmed of the number of entries and the talent and effort people put into them I really loved the energy and enthusiasm there was towards Pokitto and Python during the competition. Well done everyone!
Would a tool/utility-jam be fun?
Basically a jam for making applications that aren’t necessarily games. Like a calculator or the likes. I think this could be a fun jam idea for bringing more visibility into the current pokittolib capabilities and helping to expand that use. Maybe
Another idea: idle-jam. Make something that you can run on a plugged-in Pokitto and never turn it off. Tamagochis, cookie-clickers, alarm clocks, soil humidity monitors (hehehe), desktop PC companions (stream news to it over serial?).
How about Demake Jam? https://itch.io/jam/demake-jam
The rules: Demake jam have to be inspired on a game and not use registered names/marks. For example if you want to do a demake about Resident Evil, you can call it “Devil Resident” for example. The same for character names. If you are doing a Street Fighter demake you call character as: Rio, Kan, Mr.Bishop or whatever. Also there is no need to do a complete demake, just a level of the original game or enought to get some fun.
