| What's a gamejam? I'm glad you asked. A gamejam is like a hackweekend for videogames. You arrive and spend 2 days or so making a necessarily limited videogame, often with other people. It's welcome to beginners - there are plenty of drag-and-drop tools for making videogames - for old broken platformers, there's klik'n'play, for visual novels there's ren'py, and there's a Flash visual gamemaking tool a friend has been working on he'll almost certain bring. The focus is on making some kind of interesting gameplay rather than technical brilliance. Or at least, something "interesting".

| During this gamejam, I propose we make games for the arcade machine currently cluttering up the hallway. This will involve actually fitting a PC within it, and hooking it up to the screen and controls. I'm (George/v21) buying an interface board, but does anyone have:

|
| |
| * a spare PC we can use for this? It doesn't need to be particularly fast.
| |
| * a screen we can replace the CRT with. Wikipedia suggests it has a resolution of 320×224 resolution, which is very small.
