About the challenge

Code Cubed is hosting an online hackathon from March 27th to 29th, open to all 9th-12th graders. Your challenge for this hackathon is to build a sports-themed game!

 

Requirements

What to Build

Your job is to build a sports-themed game! This can be about any sport, even chess! This game can be anything related to said sport; you can make a game about multiple sports, or a multiple-sport hybrid game!

What to Submit

In your submission form (Google Forms), you’ll be submitting:

 

  • Your team name

  • Your team members (or just you if you’re going solo)

  • Your team leader’s email (for contact)

  • A screen recording or presentation of your game working in its entirety.

  • A file of the actual game, that can be played without external software. If applicable, you can submit a link to your playable game.

 

We incentivize creativity and innovation. Having an idea that both functions/performs well AND achieves something innovative that others in this tournament haven’t thought of will make your project stand out from the others. 

 

We do not tolerate plagiarism in any manner. Any evidence that you have used someone else’s game without their permission (and even so, without any modification on your part) will result in your disqualification. Use of AI is allowed to an extent, but the abuse of AI (i.e. having AI build your entire game for you) is not.
