What's going on?

First off, welcome to OHI/O! This is a bunch of programmers in one place. That's fun, right? Exactly. Basically, you have 36 hours to make some really cool shit. Here, we start from an idea or nothing. No previous code. Get ready, because it's going to be awesome.

Rules

• Don't be a jerk
• You cannot use code you or a teammate has previously written.
• APIs, Libraries, and Frameworks are all okay.
• We audit the code, so no plagiarism. We will know.
• Commit to your private repository every 4 hours.
• Start coding at Oct 3, 8:30PM.
• Stop coding at Oct 5, 8:00AM.
• Really, don't be a jerk.
• Questions can be asked in person at the help desk or tweeted at @hackohio
• Create a PopularVote.txt file and add it to the root of your repo. Each team member needs to write the number of the team they want to win. Obviously a vote for your own team will not be counted.
• Have fun.

Judging

• Judging will be conducted in four different rooms.
• You will be randomly assigned a room.
• Winners will be chosen from across all rooms.
• To vote for the popular vote choice award,
• Top ten teams will present at the showcase.

Our Recommended Process

1. We will create your team when you check in. You will have the power to create repositories.

2. Go to the Ohio Hackathon Page and create a repo for your project. We recommend making it private, that way other teams cannot see your code. If you do not see a "+ New Repository" button, contact the code auditor.

   

3. Give your repository a name. Just be creative!

   

   

4. If you click the "Initialize this repository with a README" button, then it will make the Readme for you!

5. You should add the licensing information as well. If you know how to do a .gitignore, then add it, otherwise won't bother with it.

6. Go ahead and create the repository now. You'll see a page like this.

   

7. The page will explain what to do next. You need to create the project locally on your computer too.

8. Next is simply a combination of add, commit, and push . The GitHub GUI (windows, mac) is best for beginners.
