    Here’s my Focus Timer .

    This has a bunch of code, it took me a lot of searching to find the right styles, because I self-learned CSS. ~It took about 2 hours. Also try to import it (Wicked Smile)~

      Just if I see {import:…}, or an import in a JavaScript function, then you get disqualified.

        Interesting. What type do you suggest for a chat application?

          I would say Community/RP, but the comments plugin requires storage, kind of like the KV plugin, which I can’t recreate.

            Alright. I was thinking of doing a workaround to somehow use the Comments Plugin and the Secret plugin without importing them, but I thought about it. I value my user’s comfort over winning a challenge, thus, I would like to forfeit from this challenge.

    @[email protected] I noticed on an old generatorjam you have “type = text” on a submitted gen. Can you please explain that? are all submissions to this supposed to have “type = text”?

      The type is the type of generator they were. Text for text generators, Image for image generators, etc. The valid types are:

      • Text
      • Image
      • Plugin
      • Template
      • Game
      • Experiment
      • Community/RP
      • Preprocessor

    You can try to add the plugins’ code into the generator, but I’d say directly copying is a bit lame, and it’s hard, because variables might repeat.
