There are two interesting video materials about last year’s competition that are worth spending some time on: [showcase of all the 36 entries](https://cinnamon.video/watch?v=494735965722510880) from the Web Monetization category recorded by **Jupiter Hadley** , and overall [top 20 best games](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKOgm5-GbUA) with their source code explained by **Ania Kubów** prepared for **freeCodeCamp**.

[Jupiter Hadley](https://www.youtube.com/c/JupiterHadley), who is a well known YouTuber gameplaying competition entries for a few good years now, [went through](https://cinnamon.video/watch?v=494735965722510880) all the [Web Monetized games](https://js13kgames.com/entries/2020/30), so you can get an overview of the level of quality they represent.

Out of the 36 games submitted to the [Web Monetization category](https://js13kgames.com/webmonetization) in 2020 supported by the [Grant for the Web](https://enclavegames.com/blog/awarded-grant-for-the-web/) there’s a bunch that ended up in the top 20 overall results, including the winner of both: [Ninja vs EVILCORP](https://js13kgames.com/entries/ninja-vs-evilcorp) by [Rémi Vansteelandt](https://twitter.com/remvst).

[Ania Kubów](https://www.youtube.com/c/AniaKub%C3%B3w) did an awesome job making the [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKOgm5-GbUA) containing the best entries from the competition, along with explaining some of the most interesting coding tricks the authors executed.

> You’re going to see 20 great examples of code from 20 insanely talented developers.

{%youtube GKOgm5-GbUA %}

It was either the authors themselves explaining those, or Ania reading their notes - the video is more than one hour long, but worth every second spent on watching! It was [published](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/20-award-winning-games-explained-code-breakdown/) and sent as a headline by [Quincy Larson](https://twitter.com/ossia) to the [freeCodeCamp](https://www.freecodecamp.org/) community through their newsletter.

Remember that the source code of all the games submitted over the years [is available on GitHub](https://github.com/js13kGames), so you are free to study and learn from it. Don’t forget about the [Post Mortems](https://js13kgames.github.io/resources/#posts2020) developers write as well, where they share their lessons learned of what went good and what could’ve been improved.
