------- WHAT TO EXPECT -------

Sprinkle some caffeine powder on your fish n’ chips and get ready to rumble in a weekend Blockchain game hackathon with some of the best in London!

At the start of the hackathon, you will be given a copy of the Loom SDK.

Not to brag, but every game developer who has played around with the Loom SDK in past hackathons has raved about its ease-of-use.

------- WHAT TO BRING / PACKING LIST -------

1. Laptop (macOS/Linux/Windows 10)

2. Lot’s of energy, enthusiasm, creativity and willingness to learn

So, you’ll be WELL ARMED to code up some incredible projects - examples from some previous Loom Network hackathons:

------- WHAT IS PROVIDED -------

1. Loom SDK

2. Loom developer support

3. Blockchain and Ethereum Dev Mentors

4. Refreshments

At the start of the hackathon, you will be given a copy of the Loom SDK.

…and after you are fully set up, you can begin using our game SDKs for Unity, Cocos, Phaser.js, Truffle / Web3, or JavaScript to build a DAppChain game.

The Loom SDK also comes with built-in example DApps you can simply download and run with minimal setup time.

For example…A Unity-based side-scrolling adventure game, a social network, and browser-based games using Phaser and WebSockets are some of those example DApps that can be run out of the box.

Think of those as the “Hello World” equivalent of what’s possible with our SDK.
