@everyone The theme is Machines

Evoltr 05-Nov-16 08:03 AM

@everyone The theme for the 2016 Devathon Contest is: Machines! Make a machine, make an interaction with a machine, or do something completely creative! As long as it has something to do with machines, you're good to go.

@everyone pushing has been fixed, you can all push to your repo now.

Paul Sauve 05-Nov-16 09:18 AM

@everyone If you're having an issue with "mvn: command not found" the following fix should work for you: Markcreator: 'if [ -f "build/apache-maven-3.2.5" ]; then' changed to 'if [ -d "build/apache-maven-3.2.5" ]; then'

@everyone If you're getting a 403 pushing to your repository, check this SO issue: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7771927/1670183

Pushing to Git returning Error Code 403 fatal: HTTP request fail...

I was able to clone a copy of this repo over HTTPS authenticated. I've made some commits and want to push back out to the GitHub server. Using Cygwin on Windows 7 x64. C:\cygwin\home\XPherior\Code\

@everyone if you are done with your entry, make sure to write a small instruction in your repo as we will not find out how it works ourselves. (edited)

CodeBeasty 06-Nov-16 07:00 AM

@everyone 1 hour remaining! Make sure to start wrapping up and making instructions for the judges!

CodeBeasty 06-Nov-16 07:45 AM

@everyone 15 minutes remaining! Make sure you have commited and pushed and included instructions for our judges!

Evoltr 06-Nov-16 08:29 AM

@everyone I should probably tell that the contest is over for the people who are still coding

@everyone vote to add devathon on beam! http://feedback.beam.pro/forums/382521-lazers-and-shiny-things/suggestions/16975288-add-devathon-group-as-a-game

Add Devathon Group as a "Game"

Devathon is a programming contest that has been on the top of the games listing for the last 12 hours as "Programming". We're a new contest, but we match a lot more of the demographic of Beam than other added programming contests like Ludum Dare.

Creating Devathon

We’re in the middle of judging, which is the perfect time to reflect on how Devathon got started.

This will be part of a series on creating and setting up Devathon, I'm thinking overall there'll be 4 parts

Paul Sauve 23-Dec-16 12:28 AM

New blog post, we asked 3 contestants what they thought about the contest: https://blog.devathon.org/the-contestants-of-devathon-4ab622e517ef

@everyone Thank you for everyone participating! I am glad to be one of your Devathon 2016 Judges and congratulations to the winners! To anyone who participated in the contest I just want to let you know that you all did great, you are empowering the next generation of developers, engineers, and more. It might seem like it's just a "block game" but it is more then that. It is a community that I love to be a part of. Thank you everyone and see you next time

@everyone With the website launch, we're now releasing the source code for the website. Anyone can open a PR to improve it! https://github.com/JoinDevathon/NewDevathonWebsite

Paul Sauve 25-Feb-17 07:23 PM

@everyone We're ready to hand out rewards to our top 3 winners. Please send me a PM @sothatsit @Minikloon @Gijs

T-shirts are finally here – Devathon

Paul Sauve 12-Sep-17 10:43 AM

@everyone You're almost out of time for filling out shipping/t-shirt information. Check the last announcement for a guide!

Paul Sauve 01-Jan-19 02:11 AM

@everyone Happy 2019!

Paul Sauve 11-Aug-19 12:28 PM

@everyone Hello everyone! I'm launching a new Discord for server owners and developers: https://discord.gg/KNzt34Q

Paul Sauve 05-Aug-20 05:21 PM

@everyone Just want to give an official announcement. As of now, I don't plan of doing any future Devathons. Originally we wanted to do a contest when Hytale released, but as-is I think it's unlikely any of our original team is interested in doing another contest. I'm going to archive the website, however for the Discord I'm going to go ahead and delete it so that we don't have to worry about any sort of moderation or responses to questions. I appreciate everyone who has been a part of Devathon, and I really hope you join the Minecrafties Discord so I can continue seeing y'all around! I'll delete the server in 1 week, just to give people a little bit of time to see this. Thanks everyone!
