[[File:Global_game_jam_logo.jpg|link=https://ggj.s3.amazonaws.com/global_game_jam_logo.jpg|frame|center|Global Game Jam's Logo]]

GGJ2021 is a collaboration between the [https://www.ChuaProductions.com/ Chua Productions] and [https://twitter.com/bad_collective Bay Area Devs].

In order to promote the health, safety, and well-being of all the participants due to the global pandemic, this event is online.

But I want to make this online event the most awesome experience that it can possibly be!

For that reason, the intro, opening ceremony, keynote, theme reveal, and for the ending when everyone presents their games and the closing ceremony, and parts for people to mingle; I want to simulate an in-person experience while being online, so we will use this tool called "Conference In VR". (It has the option of being played as a 1st-person game, or being played as a VR game if you have the hardware.)

The middle part, where everyone works on games will be held in the Bay Area Devs Collective Discord.

"Get together and create games in one weekend in hundreds of locations worldwide."

[[File:Global_game_jam_logo.jpg|link=https://ggj.s3.amazonaws.com/global_game_jam_logo.jpg|frame|center|Global Game Jam's Logo]]

The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is a yearly hackathon where people around the world participates to make videogames based on a theme.

Ever since 2018, Noisebridge has been hosting a local site for the Global Game Jam.

Main website of the Global Game Jam: https://globalgamejam.org/

'''From the website'''
https://globalgamejam.org/about

Innovation - Experimentation - Collaboration

The Global Game Jam® (GGJ) is the world's largest game jam event (game creation) taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world, we could come together, be creative, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games – it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games, while at the same time exploring the process of development, be it programming, iterative design, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity.

The structure of a jam is usually that everyone gathers on Friday late afternoon, watches a short video keynote with advice from leading game developers, and then a secret theme is announced. All sites worldwide are then challenged to make games based on that same theme, with games to be completed by Sunday afternoon. In January 2018, we had 803 locations in 108 countries create 8,606 games in one weekend! GGJ 2019 is January 25-27 at a location near you… if not you can make one of your own. The jam is known for helping foster new friendships, increase confidence and opportunities within the community. The jam is always an intellectual challenge. People are invited to explore new technology tools, trying on new roles in development and testing their skills to do something that requires them to design, develop create, test and make a new game in the time span of 48 hours.

The GGJ stimulates collaboration and is not a competition.

'''GGJ Team'''

GGJ is run by a small international team of volunteers banded together in the "Executive Committee" (EC) of Global Game Jam, Inc. The team is led by Executive Producer Jo Summers.

* [[User:Berni|Bernice]]
* [[User:Pyconaut|Ryan]]

=== THINGS TO BRING ===

* Laptops, especially ones with decent 3D graphics cards. To run [http://www.unity3d.com Unity3D] you'll need one running Mac or Windows.
* Mouse (trackpads are hard to use for 3D and game dev).
* [http://www.unity3d.com Unity] pre-installed
* iPhones, Androids, VR headsets, AR headsets, Apple TVs & other cool game hardware devices
* Adapters you may need to hook your laptop to the big projector screen to show off your games and development processes to the group.
* (type c to hdmi, mini displayport to hdmi, )

=== PREPARATION BEFORE CLASS ===

* Do some [http://www.unity3d.com/learn Unity Learn tutorials] and allocate some time each week to continue doing more.

== PRESS COVERAGE ==
* Gamebridge is the subject of [http://www.examiner.com/article/a-place-to-learn-unity-game-engine-san-francisco an article written about in the Examiner by David Cox], who teaches game design at CCSF.

== GROUP PROJECTS ==
We are working together on several projects:

=== HackerspacesApp ===
The Hackerspaces app is a 3D browser of the hackerspaces on and around Earth.
* Clone our repository at the [https://github.com/Gamebridge/HackerspacesApp HackerspacesApp repo on Github]
* Help us develop it further

=== Gamebridge FPS ===
A collaborative game project in which we explore new tutorials every week.

=== Hack The Future tutorials ===
We are working on developing new Unity tutorials for future hackers to do at [http://www.hackthefuture.org Hack The Future] events.
* [[Unity Mentoring Event Prep]]
* [[Unity Interface]] by Alex
* [[Unity Trigger Tutorial]] by Alex
* [[Gamebridge/Coin Tutorial]] by Matt
* [[Unity Projectile Tutorial]] by Chris
* [[Unity Art Tutorial]] by Jarvis
* [[Unity Block Placing Script]] by Trevor
* [[Unity Mecanim Animation Tutorial]] by Mark
* add more here.

=== Simbridge hackerspace simulator ===

[[Simbridge]] is one of our group projects. It is a collaboratively created virtual Noisebridge game. Learn more about how to help simulate Noisebridge and learn Unity, C# and 3D art in the process!

=== Mixed Reality Project / Hackerspace Creator ===

w/ Valentin Burov and Mark Willson

Help create a [[Mixed Reality Project]] for use with your smartphone and Cardboard or other like devices!

===CURRICULUM===

You can teach yourself the curriculum taught at Gamebridge by following the Gamebridge Tutorials and Unity Learn tutorials.
* Feel free to add new lesson ideas there and let us know if you have suggestions.
* Deprecated: [[GameDevelopmentCourseware]]

=== THE UNITY GAME ENGINE ===

The Unity game engine is industry standard and the full-featured personal edition is free. It can compile your games for HTML5 web, Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, XBox, PlayStation, Nintendo and many others. It is the industry standard for many reasons:

* Support for making 3D and 2D games with ready-to-use 3D 1st person, 3D 3rd person, 2D sidescroller and 2D overhead rogue-like RPG characters as well as rolling balls, cars and aircraft.
* Lots of documentation, tutorials and even online classes from schools to learn Unity.
* The ability to build once and launch on multiple platforms.
* Relatively easy coding framework to learn.
* Also as a designer it cannot be understated the usefulness of being able to play the game at any moment without waiting for a build cycle, and the ability for developers to list important features as Public Var's which unity will automatically look for and generate slider scales that designers can modify without having to touch the code base.
* The largest user base. This is important because at some point you will need to work with others to make great games, and if everyone else is already using Unity they will not likely switch to your engine or preference....unless you pay them.
* The Unity asset store is another way for developers, artists and musicians to make money by creating game tools/assets. But it's also a way to develop your own games much much faster.

===Unity Editor for Linux===
I (Alex) now maintain a Linux desktop running Unity editor for testing purposes and I can recommend it though Mac and Windows builds are still more stable and supported. [[http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-on-linux-release-notes-and-known-issues.350256/#post-2648924 Unity's Linux release notes thread]] always has the latest download links.

== GROUP INFO ==

===HISTORY===

We had our first meetup November 2012 November 4th and it was a lot of fun. We made a game about evil companion cubes that want to give you a hug for very explosive definitions of hug. We were on hiatus for a while while Alex was away but we're back in action.

= GAME DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES =

You can download an abundance of free resources such as code, art, tools and audio to make your game awesome.

== Game Engines ==
Game engines make it pretty easy to develop games by giving you lots of development tools for world building and scripting.

We're interested in other kinds of game development too, including non-computer game designs like dice-based RPGs, board games and card games.

== Unity ==
[http://www.unity3d.com Unity] is an awesome game development engine based on Mono that compiles for Mac, Windows, iPhone, Web and Wii with support coming soon for PS3 and XBox. Unity has just been made free for indy developers. Unity is an extremely easy to learn game development environment with a massively helpful developer community.

We are primarily teaching and collaborating with Unity in Game Club because it is incredibly awesome and easy to learn.

===Unity On Ubuntu===
*[http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=23757 Unity3D on Wine] works with only a couple small bugs so you can create Unity games on Ubuntu too!
*[http://www.winehq.org/download Install WINE] for Ubuntu

=== Unity Tutorials ===
'''START HERE:''' [http://unity3d.com/learn Unity Tutorials] are free to download and can be completed in a day or two! Do these before coming or do them with us to get help and support.

*C# is the language you should learn to do Unity programming.
*Javascript (Actually a variant called Unityscript) is also supported but no longer recommended.
**Before beginning the Unity tutorials it is useful (but not required) to understand basic javascript programming.
**[http://www.unity-tutorials.com/free-tutorial-download.php Unityscript Beginning Scripting Tutorial (Free with an email)]
*Unity Gameplay Creation Tutorials
**[http://unity3d.com/support/resources/tutorials/2d-gameplay-tutorial.html Unity 2D Platformer Tutorial]
*Professional Unity Tutorials
**[http://www.unity-tutorials.com/ Unity-Tutorials.com] has $15 tutorials on topics like particles, gizmos, character rigging, animation and Cheetah 3D.

== Other Game Engines ==
There are other game engines.

*[http://www.udk.com/ Unreal Development Kit] is also available for free now. We'll no doubt be playing with that as well. Unreal is some seriously advanced game dev technology.
*Objective C: Some people are making iPhone games directly in Cocoa.
*Blender Game Engine: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Blender Blender Game Engine] is an open-source game engine integrated with the [http://www.blender.org Blender] 3D studio software. It has come a long way in recent versions and some of the games people have made with it are amazing.
*OGRE Open Source 3D Engine: [http://www.ogre3d.org/ OGRE] is not a full game engine but it does have Mac, Windows, Linux and iPhone support. It has recently been used to make a big hit called Torchlight.
*SDL: [http://www.libsdl.org/ SDL] is a cross-platform open-source game development library that has been used to make [http://source.bungie.org/get/ Aleph One] based on the Marathon series.
*Three.js: [http://threejs.org/ ThreeJS] javascript WebGL/OpenGL wrapper for in-browser games and experiences, used a lot for current WEBVR experiences.

== Game Development Tools ==
Game development involves lots of tools for modeling, sculpting, texturing, rigging and animating game environments.

=== Yobi3D ===
[http://www.yobi3d.com/ Yobi3D] is a 3D model search engine. You can search with simple keywords and see the results in 3D.

=== SketchUp ===
[http://sketchup.google.com/ SketchUp] is a surprisingly powerful and incredibly easy to use 3D modeling application for making basic 3D geometry to use in your game development.

=== Google 3D Warehouse ===
[http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ Google 3D Warehouse] is a searchable library of free 3D models in SketchUp format that you can download freely and use in your games. You can also upload your own creations to 3D Warehouse.

=== FreeSound Project ===
[http://www.freesound.org/searchText.php FreeSound Project] is a searchable library of free sound files that you can use in your games. You can also upload your sounds to FreeSound for others to use.

=== All CG Textures ===
[http://www.allcgtextures.com/main.php All CG Textures] has loads of quality free textures.

=== Maya ===
[http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=13578047&siteID=123112 Maya] is the #1 3D content creation tool for games.

We're looking for people with Maya experience who can teach how to use Maya. Especially interested in learning about character rigging and animation.

=== Blender ===
[http://www.blender.org/ Blender] is an open-source 3D studio that can do mostly the same things as Maya for free. We're looking for people who want to teach Blender skills.

=== 3D Character Rigs ===
[http://hznaqnzxuoouxznqanzh.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/ Creative Crash] has many free 3D character rigs in Maya format.

|description = [[HackTheLeft|Hack the Left]] is an ''anticapitalist'' hackathon, going on for the entire long weekend of February 5th-7th at Noisebridge. This is an experiment to see what happens when you get a bunch of leftists in a room for a weekend with the intention to advance liberatory and ''anticapitalist'' projects using technology. This includes software projects like Tor and Signal, art projects like the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project and Men in Grey, hardware projects like mesh networks and signal jammers, and tools for rad organizations like Anti Police-Crimethink Project and Food Not Bombs. It's clear that there's a huge amount of opportunity for liberatory technology. It's up to us to build it.

"Get together and create games in one weekend in hundreds of locations worldwide."

[[File:Global_game_jam_logo.jpg|link=https://ggj.s3.amazonaws.com/global_game_jam_logo.jpg|frame|center|Global Game Jam's Logo]]

The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is a yearly hackathon where people around the world participates to make videogames based on a theme.

Ever since 2018, Noisebridge has been hosting a local site for the Global Game Jam.

Main website of the Global Game Jam: https://globalgamejam.org/

'''From the website'''
https://globalgamejam.org/about

Innovation - Experimentation - Collaboration

The Global Game Jam® (GGJ) is the world's largest game jam event (game creation) taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world, we could come together, be creative, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games – it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games, while at the same time exploring the process of development, be it programming, iterative design, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity.

The structure of a jam is usually that everyone gathers on Friday late afternoon, watches a short video keynote with advice from leading game developers, and then a secret theme is announced. All sites worldwide are then challenged to make games based on that same theme, with games to be completed by Sunday afternoon. In January 2018, we had 803 locations in 108 countries create 8,606 games in one weekend! GGJ 2019 is January 25-27 at a location near you… if not you can make one of your own. The jam is known for helping foster new friendships, increase confidence and opportunities within the community. The jam is always an intellectual challenge. People are invited to explore new technology tools, trying on new roles in development and testing their skills to do something that requires them to design, develop create, test and make a new game in the time span of 48 hours.

The GGJ stimulates collaboration and is not a competition.

'''GGJ Team'''

GGJ is run by a small international team of volunteers banded together in the "Executive Committee" (EC) of Global Game Jam, Inc. The team is led by Executive Producer Jo Summers.

How to tell if the event needs a permit?

1. It has live music or live DJs.

2. It expects up to 49 people or more to stay inside at the same time.

If both of these are true for the event, then the event need a "One Time Indoor Entertainment Event Permit" from the [https://sfgov.org/ San Francisco City & County Government]'s [https://sfgov.org/entertainment/ Entertainment Commission].

'''''IMPORTANT:''''' Please get the permits as early as possible, to give time allowance for any unforseen circumstances.

'''DEADLINE: The completed application and materials are due to SF Entertainment Commission no later than Seven (7) days prior to the proposed event. Important: You may need to contact other City departments for permits and approvals; contacting them at least 2 weeks prior to the event will ensure you have enough time to prepare if any inspections and corrections are required.'''

----
== Process ==
=== Step 1: What's needed: ===

Develop your event security plan. This plan should:

1. provide name, cell number, and email of the on-site event manager

2. provide at least one security guard for every 100 persons actually present at any one time during the entertainment

3. secure the sidewalk for a 100-foot radius in all directions around the location of the event premises to prevent injury to persons and/or damage to property;

4. provide for the orderly disbursement of persons and traffic from the premises and within 100 feet of any door that patrons use to enter or exit the premises.

5. include sufficient staff with the required experience to carry out the security plan

'''TL;DR -- A) give contact info of emergency contact, who is a person that will be physically present there during the event. B) 2,3,4,5 just means that there should be an emergency and/or evacuation plan just in case.'''

=== Step 2: Fill Out The Form ===
1. Please go to this link: https://sfgov.org/entertainment/permit-types

2. Please look for "One Time Indoor Entertainment Event Permit" and fill it out online. If it needs a signature, you can use an online service for e-Signatures. The one that was recommended to me was https://www.hellosign.com/, but if you know something better, then feel free to use that, and add it here in the wiki! ^_^

=== Step 3: Email The Relevant People In The sfgov.org Entertainment Commission To Waive The Fee ===
There is a fee. Please email these people, who will approve the form and waive the fee:

"Stewart, Crystal (ADM)" <crystal.stewart@sfgov.org> https://sfgov.org/entertainment/crystal-stewart-kennedy

maggie.weiland@sfgov.org -- https://sfgov.org/entertainment/maggie-weiland

On the eve of '''<nowiki><[day of the week], [Month] [day], [year]></nowiki>''', from <nowiki><[start time]></nowiki> to <nowiki><[end time]></nowiki>, Noisebridge will have a special event: a <nowiki><[name of event here]></nowiki>, which is free and open to the public.

Here is the Meetup page for the event:
<nowiki><[put link to Meetup or event page here]></nowiki>

Noisebridge would like to request approval of these 2 permits for the event:

"

Permit: Fire Department (up to 49 persons)

Permit: One Time Indoor Event (includes live music, DJs)

"

As in the past, Noisebridge doesn't have a formal letterhead, but here's the message with the explanation about why Noisebridge's application fits all of your criteria for an exemption/waiver of the fees for the permits/event:

Noisebridge is a nonprofit makerspace that welcomes everyone to come and use the tools here. Noisebridge is open and welcoming to all, providing infrastructure and collaboration opportunities for anyone interested in programming, hardware, crafts, science, robotics, art, and technology. We teach, we learn, we share. With no leaders, we have one rule: "Be excellent to each other". Noisebridge is an educational non-profit CA corporation for the public good, and we have 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.

Here is more information about Noisebridge: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/About

Our total budget for the <nowiki><[name of event here]></nowiki> is $0.00, because everything in Noisebridge, including the <nowiki><[name of event here]></nowiki> itself, is contributed by and donated by the people who go to Noisebridge regularly. But we certainly invite everyone to come to Noisebridge, especially if it's their first time. Nobody is turned away for lack of funds.

Please let us know if there's something else that you need, or if you have additional questions.

Thanks in advance. Take care, and live long & prosper.

Getting Permits For Events

How to tell if the event needs a permit?

1. It has live music or live DJs.

2. It expects up to 49 people or more to stay inside at the same time.

If both of these are true for the event, then the event need a "One Time Indoor Entertainment Event Permit" from the [https://sfgov.org/ San Francisco City & County Government]'s [https://sfgov.org/entertainment/ Entertainment Commission].

'''''IMPORTANT:''''' Please get the permits as early as possible, to give time allowance for any unforseen circumstances.

'''DEADLINE: The completed application and materials are due to SF Entertainment Commission no later than Seven (7) days prior to the proposed event. Important: You may need to contact other City departments for permits and approvals; contacting them at least 2 weeks prior to the event will ensure you have enough time to prepare if any inspections and corrections are required.'''

----
== Step 1: What's needed: ==

Develop your event security plan. This plan should:

1. provide name, cell number, and email of the on-site event manager

2. provide at least one security guard for every 100 persons actually present at any one time during the entertainment

3. secure the sidewalk for a 100-foot radius in all directions around the location of the event premises to prevent injury to persons and/or damage to property;

4. provide for the orderly disbursement of persons and traffic from the premises and within 100 feet of any door that patrons use to enter or exit the premises.

5. include sufficient staff with the required experience to carry out the security plan

'''TL;DR -- A) give contact info of emergency contact, who is a person that will be physically present there during the event. B) 2,3,4,5 just means that there should be an emergency and/or evacuation plan just in case.'''

== Step 2: Fill Out The Form ==
1. Please go to this link: https://sfgov.org/entertainment/permit-types

2. Please look for "One Time Indoor Entertainment Event Permit" and fill it out online. If it needs a signature, you can use an online service for e-Signatures.
