The dates are February 3rd 2020 to February 23rd 2020 for the submission period, then the voting period is until 8 March.
I shortened the submission period in order to finish not too close to the next jam.
Again, sorry for this late start, I must admit I was a bit discouraged by the low number of participants for the previous jam (yes, I get discouraged quite easily, sometimes...).
"The most difficult part will be making the randomness sound musical."
Not a problem, I do not intend to modify the result, but to keep it "as is". I just want to hear what randomness sounds like. Yeah, it may be a crazy idea :)
"MIDI notes are actually just numbers between 0 and 127. I'm not a programmer, but shouldn't it be easy to create a MIDI file generator that uses random values? That file could be imported into any Audio Workstation to turn it into actual music."
It is not that simple. I tried something, without any programming :
1) I created an empty midi file with a midi editor, then I saved it and closed it.
2) I reopened it with an hex editor. I kept the file header, and added the random bytes in the file.
3) I modified some of the bytes values representing the notes (the ones which were >127) : I divided them by 2, in order to have values between 0 and 127 only.
4) I saved the result as a midi file and closed it.
5) I opened the resulting midi file with the midi editor.
It did not open. The file could not be loaded again by the midi editor.
Anyway, I am making a pause on this project, I may come back on it after finishing some other projects.
Edited. Now that looks much better !

Sorry for my lazyness and lack of communication these times.
I created the jam, but I need : a banner, a background to make the page more appealing.
Updated. There are now 23 ideas in the list.
I am updating the list of ideas for the upcoming jam right now.
I will launch it this week, in some days.
Nice pyramids. Congratulations !
Congratulations for this great game :-)
Really? I finished it with just the jump and attack buttons.
What was the third?
Anyway, I will add a third button to the arcade machine tomorrow.
