Compo Game Loader

This is the homepage for the Compo Game Loader (CGL), an open source tool created to facilitate the playing and judging of games in game development competitions.

CGL was originally created for Ludum Dare but has been adapted to work with any competition (or even a zipped game bundle). CGL will automatically search a game folder for images, readme files, and executables, but its full features (automatic links to judging pages, per-os executables, play reports, etc) are unleashed when developers submit a cgl-compatible gameinfo.xml file containing their game information (check out the FAQ for more info on gameinfo.xml).

Submissions on IttyBittyGameJam.com are automatically compiled into CGL compatible format, provided in a jam-wide torrent, and include automatic play analytics, crash feedback, and bug reports.
