Hackathon winners!

Woooo! Me and quai won this years Hackaton awards! :smile:



With..this! :D Built it in two days with some secret opera stuff (sorry, cant tell!), javascript and some c-code. Assembled the whole car from a kit, and it's controllable in amusing ways ;D

Moveable camera up/down/sideways, moveable lights (following the camera position?), steering left/right, speed reverse/forward ..in any speed! etc.

As I said, I can't mention the details, but its awesome! ;D



Aaaand.. the original project was only a controllable camera without the car.. :smile:



EDIT: HEY! TheAtilla helped us out alot! Thanks man! :smile:

Indeed, they pretty much outclassed everyone else.

I think the (empty?) Red Bull bottles really tops it off. P:

haha ;D i brought 10 redbull-cans and replaced the stuff in the mini-bar in the hotel-room! ;D

...I also think we were the only ones that had a soldering iron by our window, along with other similar stuff and excessive amounts of tools ;D

Yeah - that's cool: Beer bottle next to the car (work in progress?), red-bulls next to the award - it all fits perfectly. I'm sure it's part of willo's diabolical plan to show off with the reward , haha.

Kudos! Really cool entry.
IMO only 2 other entries had a real WOW! effect. Yours was : OMGBBQ!

As a jury member, I can only say that the entire jury were totally flabbergasted by your entry.

(And the fact that you seem to have continued hacking between being evaluated by the jury, and presenting it in the morning session)

  • use Perl::Critic;

    The thing I love about Perl, is that you can do so much with so little code. The reason for that, is the indefinite number of ways of doing stuff. But when you're writing scripts for other people to understand, it's good to have a thing called Best Practices. read more

    In the occation that I've bought a Control 4 Home Theatre Controller I also had to take a sneak peek on how it works, and what it does to communicate with other devices.
