Hey everyone,

Nice to meet you all. I’ve been watching Ludum Dare for a while and have finally decided to give it a shot this time. I’m not a super experienced programmer, but I’ve been fiddling with Unity for a little while and am looking forward to seeing what I can make in 48 hours. I do have a quick question about the rules, so it would be awesome if some more experienced jammers could enlighten me.

What’s the rule on using (1) online tutorials and (2) Unity assets? Like I said, I’m pretty inexperienced, so I tend to check out a lot of online tutorials while working out code. If I end up using any of the code from tutorials or forums online, would that be problematic? Should I avoid using tutorials entirely, or post the code that I find useful from tutorials? And I’m not planning on downloading assets from the Unity store or anything, but was just wondering what the rule on the default assets, like character controllers and skyboxes is (I’ll probably end up making a 2D game but I figured I’d ask just in case).

Thanks in advance for the help and I look forward to giving this thing a shot in the coming week.
