The Rork hackathon went down in London this weekend 🇬🇧
Some people shipped their first game ever and by demo we had the whole room playing multiplayer games!
Thanks everyone and huge congrats to our winners: $1K cash + $5k Rork credits

For my first ever hackathon, this was unreal.
We walked in with a silly sheep idea.
We left with a playable game, a mascot, a visual system, a pitch, a trailer direction, a room full of sheep noises…

Kudos to our team 🫰

I came to London for VCT Masters
Somewhere in the middle of the trip,
I entered a one-day AI Gaming Hackathon.
