I participated in a 24 hour hackathon. The first 8 hours or so were fun, the rest was scrambling to get by while drinking lots of Red Bull and thinking that I'd rather be home sleeping. Maybe it was just a particularly bad one, but it's not an experience I want to go through again.
- seba_dos1 5y agoI'm a very frequent game jam participant. At my first jam I crunched the whole time with tons of energy drinks, but after a few ones I decided to not use caffeine or any other stimulants (with possible exception at the very end) and to get plenty of sleep and water during the event instead. Never regretted. Turns out you code better when well rested.
- Kaze404 5y agoHahaha, that makes a lot of sense. I participated in a game jam recently as well and that was a great experience, and now that you mention it the fact that I was at home and had a nice 8 hours of sleep might have contributed to that.
