Calling all Developers: Enter Shyft and BlockGeeks’ dApp Game Hackathon

It’s last week of July, and we’re celebrating by launching a mini-hackathon with our friends over at BlockGeeks and BountyOne.

Your challenge: Build a cool dApp game — one you’d actually want to play — incorporating the benefits of blockchain and demonstrating your understanding of the tech. We’re looking for games that are cooperative or competitive, for a variety of ages.

“Our goal with this contest is to give the blockchain community — novices and experts alike — a concrete focus for their work, and the opportunity to show off their skill with what the code can really do. This is also a great creative challenge to build something that you can see yourself and your friends having fun with; a game you’d want to play” —Joseph Weinberg, Shyft Founder and Chairman.

Submit your entry by Friday, August 3rd to be eligible for prizes: 2.1 ETH (~$1000) for First Place and 1.1 ETH (~$500) for Second Place. The winning game will also become a ground floor for our next hackathon.

Specifications:

Your submission should include the game itself, the front end and UX, user stories, and info on why blockchain was a good fit for it. Descriptions of your rationale for UX is and suggestions on types of graphics that might fit would also be welcomed.

• 2nd Place: 1.1 ETH (~$500)
