&lt;p&gt;Avrei dovuto scrivere questo post tanti giorni fa a fine jam. Purtroppo il mio sito per l&amp;rsquo;ennesima volta non andava, ma magari vi racconto un&amp;rsquo;altra volta su cosa ultimamente sta succedendo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Partiamo dall&amp;rsquo;inizio: ci eravamo lasciati con io che cercavo di comporre una tarantella. Più che una tarantella è venuta fuori una ballata, ma ditemi cosa ne pensate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay"
 src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/2264527406&amp;color=%231c1511&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La jam è stata incredibile: personalmente me la sono vissuta molto meglio dell&amp;rsquo;ultimissima che ho fatto, poiché questa volta mi sono occupato principalmente di comporre la colonna sonora, creare alcuni suoni e sceglierne altri. È stato incredibilmente rilassante e formativo, grazie anche al fatto che ho toccato poco il codice e quindi mi sono potuto concentrare di più sulla parte musicale.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;La scelta della squadra è stata del tutto casuale: eravamo senza una squadra vera e propria, perciò ci siamo uniti. Personalmente è la prima volta che partecipo in un team di sei persone, dove ognuno ha fatto qualcosa e non è rimasto con le mani in mano. In altri contesti e altre esperienze, ho partecipato a lavori con team più estesi o più piccoli. Mi ha fatto davvero piacere riuscire a creare qualcosa insieme, e mi ha ricordato che le cose possono andare per il verso giusto anche se questo non corrisponde necessariamente alla nostra visione del mondo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Con il resto del team (StudioH501) ci siamo trovati talmente bene che vorremmo rifare il gioco da zero per avere un po&amp;rsquo; più di dimestichezza con le procedure di sviluppo, ma questo prototipo abbiamo deciso di rilasciarlo gratuitamente per vedere come le persone reagiscono quando glielo facciamo provare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Non abbiamo vinto nessun premio, anche se alle jam non si vince, ma si impara, si crea, si condivide&amp;hellip; però delle nomination interne c&amp;rsquo;erano ugualmente. Tuttavia, abbiamo ricevuto tantissime candidature per &amp;ldquo;best game&amp;rdquo; e anche qualche voto come &amp;ldquo;miglior colonna sonora&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Se siete curiosi di vederlo all&amp;rsquo;opera, potete giocarlo gratis su itch.io!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If the code seems to be finished, then smile: you have not even started it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;— &lt;!-- raw HTML omitted --&gt;Me&lt;sup id="fnref:1"&gt;&lt;a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;!-- raw HTML omitted --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, after many years I can participate in an important competition promoted by important associations and companies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wished for years to participate in the Global Game Jam, at least two years, finally I participated in an important competition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This time the event was organized by Codemotion Team and Tim &lt;a href="https://www.wcap.tim.it/it/2020/06/tim-smart-spaces-hackathon"&gt;FIY: official event link&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event took place from 2nd to 5th July, four days full of so much work and things to organize and to do but after all, each of us had fun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Without my team I can&amp;rsquo;t even imagine being there: they were essentials for the competition, we had a lot of a great time together
(in particular, the communication was so efficient between each of us) and despite moments of discouragement, we did it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you have a lot of ideas floating in your mind, not every idea is feasible: you should do your researches and make some analysis:
we found ourselves in difficulty because we didn&amp;rsquo;t know what to present and, most importantly, HOW!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The real thing was after a while when our mentors encouraged us to do more and to produce something: they were right? They were wrong?
It doesn&amp;rsquo;t matter: we everybody had a lot of fun and we worked as a REAL team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope to have fun again!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best of luck to me (and to us)!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cool huh? Why I suddenly joined?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This all started from a great person, Aldo, who has sent in a Whatsapp group a link to this year hash code some days before the event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was amazed&amp;hellip;I clicked the link: I never heard about Hash Code and this thing got me excited especially because it was organized by Google.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That was only the beginning: I started calling some people to find out how to form a team and after many tries I realized that there were some days before the challenge. Cool uh?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, that day came (28th Feb), all people in my team got anxious because the precedent challenge was something definitely out of our knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The competition started from 18.30 till 22.30 &amp;ldquo;just&amp;rdquo; four intensive coding hours.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Personally, I think it was fun: working on source code with other 3 people at the same moment is not easy and see something which works when some people work together, this made me so satisfied.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This isn&amp;rsquo;t enough: we have finished writing source code too but because of the loss of time we haven&amp;rsquo;t tested&amp;hellip; did I already said that it was &amp;ldquo;just&amp;rdquo; four hours?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What language do we used? Good question, we don&amp;rsquo;t remember! I thought even about Rust, thinking about RustFest 2018, but this is another story&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
