What is StoneJam about?
StoneJam was conceived as a way to experiment with Stonescript, a scripting language built directly into Stone Story RPG. Easy to use yet powerful, scripts can be as simple as automating potions if your health gets low, optimizing combat to superhuman levels, or even creating new cosmetics and UI features!
With each new update we continue to expand what's possible with Stonescript. We want to see what YOU can create! Some of the projects that people have made with Stonescript include:
Minigames
Pets and cosmetics
Custom UI elements (e.g. healthbars, ability timers) ASCII-art and animations
…and more!
Collaborations between participants are more than welcome (and in fact encouraged).
Instructions in the Mind Stone* are written in Stonescript, a minimalist language designed for use by everyone. If you don’t want to script, use the Mind Stone as your canvas to create ASCII art!
*(Note: Stonescript features are unlocked part-way through playing the game. If you’re new to scripting or need a quick refresher, check out this tutorial we’ve written up: https://stonestoryrpg.com/stonescript/intro_tutorial.html)
I’m a mobile player; can I still participate?
Yes!
While working with Stonescript on mobile may be a bit more challenging, there are ways that you as a mobile player can participate in StoneJam.
We recommend working with cosmetics as the easiest way to get into mobile scripting. For the more ambitious users, it is still possible to work with UI, Games, and other types of StoneScript creations!

What do I get?
StoneJam is a chance for our community to work together and bring StoneScript to its limits. All participants in StoneJam will earn a commemorative trophy in-game, and our favorite submissions will be invited to be an official addition to the game.
How do I submit my StoneJam entry?
Submission rules:
Inside your scripts, at the beginning of each file include:
Name/nickname of author or multiple names if multiple authors
Version number of the script
Instructions on how to use it
Drop your script into #stonejam-submit, along with screenshots and/or gifs of your entry in action.
If a single entry involves multiple interdependent scripts, put them into a zip.
Submit different entries separately.
You can submit scripts created prior to the jam, as long as the jam week is used for meaningfully improving them.
