Questions about making things
« on: 2012-September 06, 20:46:24 »
I'm new to game jams, so my questions are:

If I have a sprite I've done some time ago, can I use it, or I must draw it again from scratch?

And can the same be applied for code, i.e. I want to add this feature that is in one of my other project?

(In short, is copy and paste possible in some occasions?)

Graphics and sounds need to be made from scratch.
Same goes for game code, although public frameworks are allowed.

We won't mind if you copy 3-4 lines for some wacky maths calculations from somewhere else though.
Copying whole methods or even classes is not acceptible, unless they are not game-specific and you shared them before.

Thank you for your answers! Now everything is clear!

(I hope I didn't sound like I wanted to cheat...)
