# Software and Platforms

The GGJ is hardware and software agnostic, meaning we do not demand that you use any particular platform or technology to make the games for GGJ.&#x20;

Each year however, we do have offers for jammers from our sponsors. [See here for the latest list.](https://globalgamejam.org/jammer-resources)

We also have a list [compiled by the GGJ community](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qQf5zjvJHEB40xYhTiFo9GzNYUBt8iAw8vzPu2Oy354/edit) with many suggestions.

Also check out our [list of simple tools](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17Pl3huEWliaH6K2ko8cDwqPjLHzs1Wn19V00AZtPOTM/edit?usp=sharing) for those who might not have much technical experience to get started making games, especially good for new jammers or non technical attendees.&#x20;

**You might want to send out a reminder to your jammers to download and update their preferred tools before they get to the event, so as not to strain the shared internet connection!**
