An app attack: The winners and code from the SPARC Hackathon 2.0
Image by Team "Ninjaneers07" Despite the awesome app splash page, team Ninjaneers07 failed to take first.
With food trucks, video games, a DJ, and generally almost any distraction you could think of, 28 teams of computer programmers gathered on Daniel Island on Saturday, August 25, for 16 hours to code mobile apps for prizes.
It was the Hackathon 2.0.
The winning team, Apperture Science from the University of South Carolina, won “Best in Show” and the $3000 grand prize with the "Pocket Naturalist" app.
You can check out photos from the event along with the list of other winners below.
As promised, all of the code was published to a public repository and can be viewed online. Sadly, however, that code wasn't given any descriptive information so it will likely be of little use to anyone not at the Hackathon.
Here's the full lineup of winners:
| Zombie Alligators | Tripppy | Most Useful App |
| The League of Pantsless Gentlemen | Barter Bee | Best Costumes |
| Alien Android Farm | RoadAngel | Best Innovation / Ambition, Hackiest App |
| Tres Gueros Barbudos | The Pants Party | Flashiest App |
| The Null Terminators | Inventory+ | 2nd Place Native, Best Overall Quality |
| I believe you have my stapler... | N/A | Most Creative App |
| Team Honey Badger | Sentify | 2nd Place Framework, Most Intoxicated |
| It's Ok In A Threeway | N/A | Most error prone App |
| Jack Russell Software | PopDeals | 1st Place Framework, Best Pitch / Impact, Most Complete |
| Solid Orange | MAppComm | Most Fun App |
| "Team Shell Code" | PetNames | Best UI / UX, Most Caffeinated |
The event host, SPARC, is a software development service company.
