Ideas for Global Game Jam
  • A server set up and ready, along with ip address, etc written down
  • A Github repo and team set up (if entering with a team)
  • A game idea planned out - style, direction, gameplay, description, maybe some storyboard sketches
  • A preferred platform/framework
  • Scaffolding for the platform/framework
  • Idea of how work will split up
  • Art resources preselected - inspirational stills, videos, music, sounds, sprites, etc

Update on November 12: It is now possible with the HTML5 webapp manifest.

As explained on html5rocks.com, you can now force the orientation mode using a manifest.json file.

You need to include those line into the json file:

{
    "display":      "standalone", /* Could be "fullscreen", "standalone", "minimal-ui", or "browser" */
    "orientation":  "landscape", /* Could be "landscape" or "portrait" */
    ...
}

And you need to include the manifest into your html file like this:

<link rel="manifest" href="manifest.json">

Not exactly sure what the support is on the webapp manifest for locking orientation mode, but Chrome is definitely there. Will update when I have the info.
