Teams are required to have a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 5 people. All students within a team must be in the same category, either junior or senior. While age doesn’t matter, they must fall within the grades that are defined by the category.
Project and Submission Requirements:
Applications need some form of UI/UX. An IDE output will not suffice.
There are no specific restrictions on the application type. Whatever medium allows you to best express your solution is allowed, as long as the application’s UI is not the IDE (integrated development environment) itself.
All code written should be open source and must be available for inspection on some version control tool, ideally GitHub or Bitbucket.
All assets and fonts used for Game Design and Applications must be under a compatible license that allows you to use them for non-commerical purposes. Please ensure that they comply with the Common Creative license or other applicable standards.
