Sharpen thy sword (and keyboard) for a 24‑hour duel of wits, builds, and bravado. From first bug felled to final demo, earn your spurs and ride into legend.
Hear ye, hear ye! A round‑the‑clock hacking tourney where all guilds are welcome - knights of backend, rogues of frontend, bards of design, alchemists of AI, and scribes of docs. Choose any “weapon” (tech stack) and forge a project worthy of the court.
Build anything you fancy: tools, games, apps, bots, data scrolls, or arcane automations. Solo or form a party, then sprint to a working prototype and a show‑and‑tell worthy of the king’s feast.
Any stack, any library, original code only for core logic; credit assets you borrow
Keep commits frequent, README clear, and a runnable build/script ready
Demos are 3 minutes live or recorded, with 1 minute for questions
Be kind, inclusive, and helpful - this is a friendly tourney, not a siege
Craftsmanship: clean design, coherent UX, steady performance
Originality: fresh ideas or bold twists on classics
Scope fit: ambition matched to 24‑hour reality
Story: problem clarity, user value, and the tale you tell in your demo
Teamplay: clear roles, version control hygiene, and collaboration
Repository link with instructions to run
Brief README: problem, approach, stack, and next steps
Demo: live or a short recording/gif
Drop into voice channels for team‑forming, request mentor pings for blockers, and share progress in project threads. Snacks and memes encouraged; caffeine potions optional but effective.
Start small, ship early, iterate often
Pick one “wow” moment to showcase
Leave bread‑crumbs in your README for judges and future contributors
Abide by the code of conduct, respect fellow adventurers, and keep the tavern welcoming for all.
Rally thy cohort, steady thy nerves, and answer the call. Tonight, we hack like knights.
