Code and assets generated by so-called "artificial intelligence" such as a large language model (LLM) are not permitted . Likewise, Lisp implementations and other dependencies that are substantially LLM-generated are not permitted . You may develop your own general-purpose engine, tools, and assets before the jam begins. This way, you can start with the game logic and connecting the pieces during the jam.
