After the final results were announced, it became known that the winners of the evil team become the winners and owners of the main prize!
On October 2, the hackathon participants listened to the reports of IT experts and set about creating their own projects.
The goal was to invent and create a prototype of the game application, which must be presented to the jury 22 hours after the start of the hackathon.
With the help of invited experts, participants managed to get acquainted with the features of game development on various gaming platforms : HTML5, Unity , XNA, Monogame , etc.
The teams paid special attention to the development tools of Visual Studio and Unity3D .
Winners
As a result, the game “Victory wins” is recognized as the best gaming application following the hackathon of Games Coding Night :
On the Unity platform, the team created an action game in which the user plays as a mage, and, by mixing different elements, creates spells to destroy his opponents.
For example, by mixing the elements of stone and fire, a fire explosion is obtained:
And the interaction of darkness and earth produces lightning:
Initially, the game was developed for the Razer Hydra controller, which the player holds in each hand and with the help of it mixes the elements, but now the team is developing an interface for PC.
The following winners of the hackathon were equally interesting projects of the teams “Dread Node” and “ Oarts” :
The participants of “Dread Node” have developed a game in which, thanks to Kinect , the user, sitting in a spaceship, has the ability to control his space fleet with his hands.
The Oarts team again returned the jury to the theme of magic with the Magic Duel project:
The game “ Magic Duel ” is a duel of magicians, in which, according to the creators' description, it is not enough just to be able to quickly press buttons on the keyboard or gamepad. True magicians must be able to draw their spells and draw them from patterns. And only the ability to quickly and correctly combine suitable patterns can help in a real battle of wizards:
Projects were evaluated and the winners selected by the main experts of the hackathon : Tatiana Smetanina, Dmitry Andreev, Vladimir Yunev and Dmitry Soshnikov (Microsoft), Oleg Chumakov (Nival Network), Alexander Bragin (Mail.ru).
We sincerely congratulate the team!
We also hope that the application developed on the hackathon will become the basis for the project submitted for the Imagine Cup competition , the start of its startup, and also just a good line in the resume and a separate subject for pride.
