Introducing POK Adventure- A journey of a hacker into hackathons!
Your hackathon journey, summed up in a simple game; along with all the ups & downs. Delves into the challenges that hackers face during the course of the hackathon, not necassarily at Hack4Bengal 3.0.

The problem it solves
Tired of hacking all day long, battling network shortages, hackers might have had a grueling time dealing with all the things that come along with a hackathon, so, here is a game representing their journey in the hackathon.
Challenges I ran into
- Initial project idea was too similar to others' projects - Device specifications wasn't enough to support all the ideas we had in our plans - Internet outages limited working proficiency
Usage of this game:
This is a one person player game designed to elaborate on the journey of the hackathon in the eyes of the the hacker. the game starts off with some challenges, which need to be overcome once the hacking starts. there are a few collectibles on tthe way, that is:
  1. Heart- This represents the love that is generally shown for an impressive project, & for exceptional valor shown in the course of the hackathon.
    sometimes, a little support can work wonders, who knows?
  2. Burger- Represents all the tasty meals that the hackers had access to at the venue. More the food, more the merrier!
  3. Goodie Bags= Represents the lootable items( yes, ye dil maange more ). includes tshirts, stickers, extra food & almost anything that yoou can think of!
  4. Wifi- Represents the internet fluctuations that occur in every.hackathon. anyway, there will be pros & cons of everything, innit?
  5. Stars- refers to the self doubt & feelings of inadequacy, anger, jealousy & many more such emotions that a hacker might face during a hackathon. We all face our demons, sometime or the other, anyway or the other!
  6. Cannons- Refers to the gentle countdowns that keep hackers on their toes. Can be a major source of worry is not managed properly. It is linked with the ampount of sleep that a person gets anyway

Currently, There are no point based system as I dont wanna make it competitive, it is what I created just for fun & also as an opportunity to parse a new domain. Also, this was an idea which I decided randomly at 6am on the 2nd day of the hackathon, thus giving me much less time to work on but i enjoyed the wholwe process. Wanted to include a progress bar but that would again increase competitiveness, as somewhone who beta tested this game, wanted me to make cheat codes & hacks for the games they play xD (haan thoda personal ho gaya lekin okay)

This game was based on my experience at Hack4Bengal 3.0, but in some way, applies to all the hackathons in some way. If possible I might include future versions with better game dynamics & maybe, maybe add a personal touch to it. This serves as a testament to what I did, my journey in this particular hackathon, & go try out the game about which you read till this part.
