Still not entirely sure how this game jam will be run, I'm accepting ideas!
GAME JAM!!! (Sharing) Genre/topic: Flappy bird clones! think-man JoeTheBro
With that said, if you want to make it a competition, make it a friendly one.

"Are people interested in non technical software/game development help as well? Level design, game mechanics, etc."
Those who are interested speak up!

As this is a gaming forum, there are many of us who have dreams of doing something related to software. And many of us specifically want to develop games. I am making this to assist those that have an interest in developing software, whether that be games, or just software in general. If you feel that a tutorial is not up to par, or have a tutorial for replacement, that would be much appreciated. I'd like this to be an awesome resource for software developer enthusiasts or something. There are so many tutorials, so much software available, so I can't put it all, but I'd like to put in as much that would be useful. Any suggestions, compliments, insults would be very much appreciated. Please and thank you!

IDE
There's a bunch of IDEs, many of them support multiple languages. It is best to download some that are more recent in updating. If you need any help feel free to ask.

Recommendation:
Do NOT set out to make a game engine! Make a game first.
