To submit, all you have to do is share your repl on Challenge!
Check out our FAQ if anything is unclear or you have any questions. And feel free to ask anything you need there, too!
Has the challenge been posted yet? Eagerly awaiting :)
Yes, waiting for it. there is nowhere to join the challenge now @JacksonEnnis
@laltin Glad I wasn't missing something. Has the theme not been announced yet or is it Music?
@JacksonEnnis yes, this page says it is music: https://repl.it/jam
however there is registration page, I expect them to fix in a few hours, it might be still early in US 😀
@laltin Haha yikes! I know almost nothing about anything music related (other then listening). Looks like this challenge just got harder. lol
@JacksonEnnis Hey there! You should jump in on our brainstorm thread, it's pinned on this board :) We want users to be creative with this... so maybe there's a way you can make it work with thinking out of the box!
return of the banana
@theangryepicbanana can you please write a rap called "Return of the Banana"? i'll riff below
@theangryepicbanana Please do.
@theangryepicbanana Yes, please.
I don't even do rap...
@theangryepicbanana just seems like it belongs in a rap
@katyadee it was more of a star wars joke, but yea kinda
@katyadee working on it
@katyadee this was bad but here you go

Edit: It's not just bad, it's horrible
@Fireballme RUN HERE COMES THE BIG ANGRY BANANAANGRY EPIC BANANA
@Fireballme Thinking of it w/ the same flow as "The Real Slim Shady"
@katyadee I made an example. I used garageband and TTS to make it, so it's not that good, but here's a sort of example of the flow. I used a simple melody, but it can be changed to whatever. it's 160 BPM. https://bit.ly/2xuK405
@katyadee ok I promise this is the last mention
here are all the independent things (just vocals, instrumental, etc.)

[P.S. I can do one with my own voice but it won't be public]
gosh I am putting way too much time into this
@mat1 Cool, huh?
@katyadee Yup!
I have been dabbling in Webassembly lately as a use case for the programming language Rust(I love it by the way) and I might want to use it in the competition. Can I code and compile locally and upload the wasm(I will upload the Rust code files in my project REPL) for use or do I have to have code in Rust on Repl.it. The autocomplete and code linting for Rust in Repl.it is abysmal right now(I hope it gets better!)
@ArpanDhatt Yes! This is the exact same situation I'm in.
I want to do this jam, but I want to use Rust.
Rust is awesome!
But repl.it has no support for Rust crates like it has support for Python, Ruby, and Node packages.
Optimally I wouldn't even have to use WASM for the client and could just write it natively, and then have them download a native executable, but given that Repl.it is a web based app and they're the ones shelling out the prize money, I'm willing to make concessions and use WASM.
Still, I want to write the server-side of my app in Rust, and that would require access to crates, naturally. I think it should still be possible by using a polygott repo to build my code. Are you in the Discord? Maybe we can work through getting our projects access to the awesome crates of Rust's ecosystem together.
I'm Cedric#1650 over there.
https://repl.it/@defecaterainbows/rustcrates
Great, I have Rust crates compiling through repl.it!
I did it via abusing polygott :D
EDIT: The problem is, you have to cargo clean each time because it's unable to load crates that are downloaded onto the machine. This mean that it takes 42s just to change a simple program that prints a random number using the random crate... because the CPUs are slow and you have to recompile from scratch each time.
@defecaterainbows That's really cool, but I would hate working with it. I think the only option is to just upload the rs file in a RustFiles folder in the project so they don't disqualify us somehow. I really hope they make Rust on Repl.it significantly better. If we both make an amazing project, it will really showcase how amazing Rust+WASM is!
@ArpanDhatt
https://repl.it/talk/learn/Using-Custom-Compiler-Switches/14487
using this to get access to real cargo run works wonders, now I can compile in 1.5 seconds like you would expect.
. O_O
(staring intently... not sure if I want to blink)
@DonTorres Working on an entry, I hope!
Can you have more than 1 person working on it?
@kerphloo Sure can! Just make sure to note that in your entry.
@katyadee this is a bit confusing, so what will this jam include?
I want the theme to be 'HTML'
@JaiBartlett You can CERTAINLY submit an HTML project.
@JaiBartlett HTML is my favourite programming language.
@ArchieMaclean Me too
Wait can it be Python? I’m new here
so do u have to make ur own music or can it be someone elses
The James-and-Persian gif really captured my immediate feelings about this challenge perfectly.
Can I upload my android game for the jam?
@pushpakumara Did you create it on Repl.it
@katyadee No I used Unity engine and Visual Studio IDE. So am I not eligible?
@pushpakumara I believe you need to solely use Repl.it
so how is this being judged
@zog1 Creativity and execution. We definitely won't rule out simple programs.
Are we allowed to work as a pair or group?
@SwordSage Yes, you are!
Can the next jam be about math?
@ebest Why not try to marry math and music?
Does it have to be a game? Or can it be a website?
@IRchamp It can be anything you want! Game, app, program
@vedprad1 : Never mind, I hacked repl.it and enabled the text boxes.
@vedprad1 Hey there - you need to add a repl first. Did you do that?
I just saw this in facebook. I’m already a professional (it seems this is not just for students right?) and I have a music themed software that I am interested to develop. So I’m thinking to register the first bits of this software in this competition.
How to actually submit? 🤔
@crcdng Post your submission on challenge!
@katyadee Thank you! Will do 😊
@katyadee Question about "original" content: Are we allowed to use Mozilla API? Or is that not original? It's kind of confusing... 😕
@anthonykung Basically: No plagiarizing, but open source material is ok.
what language does it have to be in?
@george2222 Any language you'd like
Is it a solo project or can we make use of the multiplayer repl.it feature 👀?
@InfernoKay Please use Multiplayer! Be our guest :)
Can we work as a team with another repl.it user? @katyadee
@minion3665 Absolutely! You can use Multiplayer.
Can I use recordings of music notes that are under the no copyright Creative Commons license?
@katyadee This is AMAZING!!!
can't wait!!!
@replitcode Happy to hear it!
i don't want money or anything, but i wanna try make a music repl anyway
@ReshiramWolfu I can't wait to see what you make!
Would a hardware project (would use electrodes and software repo will be on repl) qualify for this or does it need to have software only?
@HarshitaArora1 Hey there, this might be tricky to pull off - I would recommend against it.
@HarshitaArora1 woah how is THAT possible?
will you be making a repl.it program controlled guitar or something?
@ebest hi! I was thinking of using EEG to make some kind of recommendation engine that recommends music based on mood.
@HarshitaArora1 Gl. Gl.
Actual poggers. I think ima contribute to this one
@Cool_Boi_Freak We're excited! Any ideas?
@katyadee Yea. Have an idea. user pastes a youtube link i use some nodejs to fetch title and see if i can find the lyrics. and play the music at the sametime. but shhhh
🚨THE THEME IS NOT SCAMMING PEOPLE🚨: WIN $5,000! We're having another competition!
@ebest hey.
@katyadee What?
@katyadee does the game need to be on repl.it, like can it be in https://scratch.mit.edu or https://roblox.com
@katyadee also csn you submit a game you already have
@vvc it should already be on repl.it, and usually you can't use past projects as your entry.
@vvc Put your comment off this thread. It isn't related. Also, you can grab someone's attention by just referring to them with a @katyadee HEY KATYA DO YOU AGREE
@vvc Yes, it should be on Repl.it. Doesn't have to be a game, either.
@ebest HEY.
@ebest I just wasted 5 minutes hoping to see some kind of message but got nothing. XD
