List of hackathons about video-games in 2016

The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is one of the world's largest hackathons on game development. Come and explore the global creative gaming atmosphere, while taking part in the process of development, including programming, iterative design, narrative exploration and artistic expression. Don't worry if you don't know how to program, creative idea makers are also very crucial on the process of game development. Also if you are an experienced game player you can take a stab at testing the design.

A Virtual Reality hackathon to create VR games and applications using room-scale tracking and natural input technology with the HTC Vive and SteamVR platform. The Vive is HTC and Valve's Virtual Reality solution that runs on Valve' SteamVR software platform and gives the great advantage of room-scale tracking through its lighthouse base stations, meaning that users can easily walk around a 4.5mx4.5m space and fully interact with the virtual environment. Manila Vive Jam is not a competition but more like a virtual reality jam where developers get the chance to learn and develop on the hottest VR platform around. All participants will be developing for the SteamVR/HTC Vive platform, developing games and applications with room-scale tracking and motion control input.
