I remember back in November 2023, right when the Naalaa website came back online after crashing. I tried to learn Naalaa by recreating a very simple 1945-style shooter game. To my amazement, the creator himself (Marcus) responded to my questions!

So, this game jam isn't really about winning for me. It's about saying thanks to the community and showing the world that Naalaa is a powerful flavor of BASIC that's great for making and enjoying games. 

If you grew up with BASIC back in the day, Naalaa might bring back those good old memories. You know, the joy of staring at a green monochrome screen, typing code from magazines and books, and trying to make text-based games. I remember how frustrating it was when we found bugs, but also how eager we were to fix them no matter what... lol.

Really, Naalaa is free. Free to use, free to explore, and you even get free advice and solutions from the creator... lol. So here I am. This game jam is my way of saying thanks and giving back for all the precious BASIC knowledge inside Naalaa. I dedicate this to the person behind the birth of Naalaa
