Hey folks! It’s the first, uh, Tuesday of the month, which means it’s mini game jam time! This month, our theme comes to us from @CopySprite who submitted an idea during one of our livestreams (a very good way to influence our mini game jam themes). It’s time for **Pirate Jam**! I think this one is pretty self-explanatory, but just in case, we’re talking about everyone’s favorite brigands. Y’know the ones! Shanties? Big boat? Black flag with a skull on it? Pirates! You can interpret this theme however you want as long as someone can see how it relates to the word “Pirates” with no extra explanation. ## Rules 1. Games should be built in MakeCode Arcade 2. Games should clearly adhere to the theme without the need for any extra explanation 3. Keep the games PG: no NSFW, offensive, or excessively violent content. 4. You must be at least 9 years old to participate. 5. All games must be submitted by someone who is at least 13 years old. Younger students are welcome to participate, but it must be in partnership with an adult and with parent permission. You have three weeks to enter! The jam will close at **11:59 PM PDT on Monday, July 22nd 2024** Submit your games by posting them in this thread! ---

It seems I have made the first game! > **[Pirate Ship Battle](https://arcade.makecode.com/S81418-10433-42076-00726)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. Instructions in game, but just in case: Just simply block the cannonballs! They will start shooting out of both ships at the start of the game, and more and more will come. Press A button once the game starts to play against a bot. It is possible (I believe) to beat it, so tell me if you can! Also, in my opinion the music hits hard. Spent a while on it, Thank you! ---

I made this game in about an hour on my phone. It is awful and is not anywhere near my best game. Also my name is not Joe. > **[pirate's](https://arcade.makecode.com/56453-58152-58080-55761)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.
