HackUPC 2021
About HackUPC
HackUPC is the first student hackathon in Spain. Once a year, we aim to provide a space for students of all experience levels from all around the world where they can improve and learn new skills, meet awesome people, and overall have a great experience! This year’s edition will be held in a hybrid format, meaning that you can come in person but also participate from home.
Our project
@miquelt9, @JCasahuga and I decided to participate in this hackathon in the first year of the degree. We were just competing for fun and especially to learn new things. HackUPC is a hackathon that participants are free to choose their own theme. Neither of us knew how to make any kind of frontend, but @JCasahuga and I had used Unity game engine, so we decided to develop a 2D game using it. After some brainstorming, we decided to make a space shooter.
All the struggles and more info can be found in Devpost, the platform where we submitted our project. Right below there’s a demo of our game, and don’t forget to check out the project on Devpost and the code on Github.
