I just recieved a t-shirt and grand prize winner certificate from Google!

Congratulations on making it into the top 20, so will winning actually get you a real price ($$$) or is it just for the fame ?

According to the rules: “The 20 grand prize winners will receive a trip to Google’s Mountain View, California, USA Headquarters for themselves and a parent or legal guardian for an award ceremony, an opportunity to meet with Google engineers, explore the Google campus and have a fun day in the San Francisco, California sun.”

Woohoo! Guys, my temporary NDA expired and I can share that I am Google Code-In 2012 Grand Prize Winner! It was 63 tasks on 7 weeks of work.

Hello, guys!

My previous blog entry was about idea, nice idea: the game for computer programmers. I should say that it’s not an idea, anymore. I’ve started its development loop! I don’t have too much time now, but I have enough of power.

Manifest:

Hexomodo is a game with coding quests. For instance, there can be a section “Rob0t in maze” where you can hack solutions for maze quests. For example, to find the shortest way in the maze with map given, or in the blind way (robot can see only 3 squares around him). Everything is provided with pretty visualisation of written algorithm. Algorithms can be written in JavaScript or Python. Achievements, online rating and a lot of interesting, challenging tasks: keep your brains fit and have lots of fun :)

Project’s home is on GitHub: tucnak/hexomodo. Star me ;)

If you want to help with development or graphics, etc. you always can get in touch with me (contacts). I will be really happy!
