Js13kGames
js13kGames (also referenced as JS13K) is a game jam competition, focused on creating browser games that are no larger than 13 kilobytes when compressed using ZIP.[1][2][3] Participants are not permitted to use external services or libraries, and all assets must also fit within the size limit.[4] Games are programmed in JavaScript and HTML5.[5][6][7] The competition has a different theme each year and participants have the freedom to interpret it however they like.[8] Winners receive prizes consisting of money, digital rewards, T-shirts, and promotional items.[9]
History
JS13K was founded in 2012 and is run by Andrzej Mazur.[10][11][12] It is held from 13 August to 13 September annually.[13] Since 2017 there are categories that allow for certain frameworks to not count towards the size limit.[14] JS13k introduced a web monetization category in 2019 in partnership with Coil,[15] which continued through 2020 funded partially by Grant for the Web.[16]
Several well known game designers have participated in JS13K including Markus "Notch" Persson (creator of Minecraft)[17] and Ricardo "Mrdoob" Cabello (creator of Three.js).[18] Some games created for the competition have later been released commercially on Steam including 2016 winner Evil Glitch.[19]
