Welcome to WarriorHacks 2025 at Memorial High School—a one-of-a-kind in-person hackathon with a retro flair! This year, we’re inviting hackers of all levels to dive into a creative coding experience where the past meets the present. Whether you’re building games, apps, or interactive art, your project must include some element of coding along the way. Our theme, Retro, encourages you to embrace nostalgic designs, classic interfaces, or vintage tech inspirations while harnessing modern programming techniques.

Over the course of three collaborative meetings, our dedicated officer team will provide hands-on guidance, technical support, and creative brainstorming sessions. On the final meeting, projects will be showcased and judged based on creativity, originality, and technical implementation. Get ready to channel your inner retro coder and innovate in a uniquely supportive environment!

Requirements

Participants are expected to submit the following on Devpost:

  • Project Build: A fully functioning project that incorporates code as a core element. Creativity and originality in how you interpret the Retro theme is encouraged.
  • Source Code: Ensure your project’s source code is accessible (e.g., via GitHub) and properly documented.
  • Demo Video or Screenshots: Provide a short demo video or a series of screenshots explaining your project’s functionality and design.
  • Written Description: Include a summary of your project’s inspiration, the retro elements you integrated, and a brief overview of the technologies used.
  • Team Member Details: List all team members along with their roles and contributions.

Please ensure your project is submitted by the end of the third meeting, where the judging will take place.
