Hackathon theme

Hey everyone!

The theme for the hackathon has just been announced! Here it is:

"If there is such a thing as too much power, I have not yet discovered it."

Additionally, you must use at least one of these verbs:
  • Charge
  • Gorge
  • Love
The theme actually comes from this Magic: the Gathering card. The verbs are totally up to creative interpretation, in fact we highly encourage it.

The deadline for submitting the game is Sunday April 3rd at 1:30 pm.

Additionally, by this Sunday at 8pm,  you must submit a document detailing the name of the game, as well as the names of all your teammates, and the chosen development platform. Please email this to megausc@usc.edu with the subject being "Hackathon Team".


Some rules to remember:
  • No teams larger than 6 people
  • No students from other schools. Alumni can be on teams but are NOT eligible for any prizes.
  • Your game will be judged relative to the tools you use. Be truthful about what is yours, and what has already been made. These judges don't get fooled easily.
  • Have fun. What you make in these ten days could inspire bigger and better projects in the future!


Happy hacking!
