_Finally! It’s here._
_This is NOT the information thread, fyi._
Hello! Sorry for the delay, I had a cold. But here we are, the official competition. Somehow, no one has posted their entry submission games for this competition. That ok, the competition must go on! Unfortunately…

It looks like @meatballdev won’t be here to help with the competition. Don’t worry, things will look up somehow! I know it!
# Rules
- Don’t copy code or use other’s code.
- Keep the games PG
- Teams are allowed
- Credit assets that other people made
- Always must be made in MakeCode arcade
- Follow the theme!!! We will talk about this soon.
And that’s that. Oh, also here’s the dates:
Start: 2025-11-05T06:00:00Z Typically we start tomorrow (or today if this wasn’t posted yesterday…).
End: 2025-12-31T06:00:00Z This gives ypu approximately almost **84** days to get coding.
# Theme
Alright, here’s the theme.
The theme today is **racing**! We’re looking for games that feature racing and getting to the finish line! Does that mean you have to make a game related to cars and street racing? Nope! Not at all. It can be an olympic race or climbing a mountain. Anything that requires to reach a finish line.
Some ideas are:
- Climbing a mountain and reaching a peak
- Racing through a maze in the set time possible
- A track race
- And of course, a car racing game
# Winners
Because this is a competition, there’s obviously got to be winners. I will review all games posted in this thread.
Also… to switch it up a bit, I will also use ChatGPT to judge your games too. So all in all, me and ChatGPT will judge your game. Only my reviews count. The ChatGPT is for fun.
So, there you have it. Still here? Get coding! The competition waits for no one.

I know I said I was gone but since I don’t have much to do lately I think I’ll participate. I probably won’t be socializing online much though.

I’m sorry? This doesn’t seem like the greatest of ideas. There is a chance I might join but:

I would heavily recommend a judge. If I don’t participate I also might be willing to judge to. But using AI is going to be pretty controversial…

Just submit your games to this thread. This just opened, so we’re currently getting contestants. Also, does using AI to judge my games seem pretty bad?

Like I said, I won’t make the AI votes count. But if whatever you say is true…

Yeah… If you need one, I could do it?
Oh and I realize my post could have been misunderstood by some people. I meant using ChatGPT

Sure, if AI judgment that doesn’t count won’t be a good idea…
But glad you’d like to help! 🙂

# Contest announcement
Because @Ima.notarobot says using ChatGPT may not be the best of ideas, he claims to help me with judging your games and here’s how it’ll work.
The method is simple. Based on the assets of you game, he will judge by rating points (on a scale of 1 to ten) on each gameplay essential, as shown:
- Art
- Music
- Gameplay overall
- Level design
- Controls
- Bugs
He will then add them all together for each game and that is the overall score for your game.
_Oh, also, @Ima.notarobot, this is how you’ll judge the games._

Glad you could help. But sorry, @Ima.notarobot has taken place as the judge, as he called on it first ☹. But you can participate, at least 😀!

Alright, so far, (surprisingly rude), no one has yet submitted their games (except one), meaning no one has joined. Yeesh, I don’t know anyone who would be so rude as not to join even a single competition of mine. (I guess no one takes so kindly to me; I don’t know why.) Anyways, my hopes are up, and yet we may make this a success. So, for anyone else, I would like to offer an extension of the dates. I plan to extend the deadline until the end of February. That means, if you all agree, the submissions will end on the end of February. So if you would like the deadline extension, please vote as needed. Thank you.
_Poll ([view on site](https://forum.makecode.com/t/robovac-game-jam-showcase-awards-2025-official-thread/40235/19))_
Any questions? Don’t hesitate to ask. It is an honor to have you users participate in my competition.

Asking people to spend their time working on a competition without a real reward is hard when people are already working on their own projects. Besides, we should focus of working on our own forum reputation before expecting people to come to us, just a thought.
