For full explanation of submission requirements

For submissions, your team (or individual) will be required to submit a git repository to the website page. This is just in the form of your repository link. Please make sure your repository is public or add me as a collaborator to your Repo.

Alongside the git repository:

  • Demo video (3min max)
  • Game Description / Promotional video
  • Controls and how to start the game (if it is not clear)
  • Indication of whether you'd like to unenroll from people's chioce
  • Attributions to other creators where any sound and art was sourced from

Further information on the git submission:

In your git repository, we will also require a requirements.txt file in the main directory/folder. Please fill this file with all the modules that you have used: one line for each module used (we have provided an example of this in the python workshop and should be in the python part of this page). We do not have any restrictions on the modules. We also recommend providing a detailed README.md file with a detailed installation and running guide for your game (especially should it vary from that shown in the workshops). This will help us run your games while marking.
