[Librejam]

I haven’t found a sticky for game jams, so I post it here.

Librejam is a game jam for libre games (so open source code and assets).
It will start on April 1st and last for 7 days, which is quite convenient to whip up something quick.

I have partecipated in the first edition (202012); as soon as realised AGS is effectively free software too I thought "maybe other forum members can be interested too".

Hello, I wanted to play The Frozen Shore, but when I click the "Download" button I am redirected to the AGS homepage.

It took me a while to understand why: I was browsing with Javascript off.

That is a surprising behaviour: I would prefer a graceful degrading (telling the user "You cannot do this without Javascript on") or even a non-working button.
As now it makes it look like the developers are trolling us. 

Steps to reproduce:

1. go here
2. select "Only Include Games with at Least 2 Cup Ratings"
3. click "find me some games"

Results include games like "A Cat's Night 2 by PuNKKoMmANDO77", which haven't got any rating (panel or community)
