24-Hour Battlehack Singapore 2014

Saturday of September 13, 2014

Prepared a quick devlog for today's Singapore Battlehack. Our target application will be named EDGE, for Empowering the Disabled through Guided E-Markets. Basically it is an application that helps empower the disabled through a dedicated market place with a gaming component.

Planned work task: UI Mobile Development (Client Side), Server Side Development, Data Queries, WordPress launch website.

14/09/2014 16:00: #battlehack has announce the winners, definitely a fun event and will be joining next year. I have learned alot about the format of this hack event. I have also meet great people doing the event.

14/09/2014 11:00: We have finished practicing and is rehearsing for the pitch presentation.

14/09/2014 6:00: I took a quick nap, drank a few beers, performed a PROD support by checking the implemented DB changes.

14/09/2014 02:00: So much for a developer logs. Due to the time constraint and slow internet connection we need to focus more on our applications rather me writing a log. Nevertheless, a few updates for our application is that we have completed the core features of our app around 2:00 some of our team members went back home to take a rest. There were only two of us who stayed for the night to finish the final touches.

13/09/2014 3:20: Completed half of our UI pages. Currently setting our frameworks. Currently our team is composed for a mobile dev, ui dev, backend dev and a analyst business expert.

13/09/2014 12:40: Someone got ahead, for the sendgrid setup. Our team has already finalized our targets, and is preparing for the build. Our team basically used the inbound and outbound api for sendgrid.

13/09/2014 10:40: Announced that there will be a prize for the sendgrid integration and is preparing for the inbound setup.

13/09/2014 10:20: Register our team EDGE for this battlehack contest!

13/09/2014 10:00: Sometimes there are just so much idea's flowing and it is quite difficult to decide which one to execute. In the end we need to choose that idea that we can really execute and meet the winning criteria. The hack percent criteria is Quality of the Idea [33%] and Implementation (innovation and originality) [33%] and User Experience [34%]. Knowing the criteria can guide us in creating the pitch/presentation.

13/09/2014 8:40: Finished setting up my desktop. Talk for some developers and try to form a team for the battlehack.

13/09/2014 05:11: As early as 5:00am I'm starting my queue to get the free LEAP motion for the first 25 early bird participants. I brought my desktop for the event which I find a bit trouble some. I don't have a spare laptop for this kind of stuff. Most of the hacks or gamejam I join in is either it will be held online or the event handler will provided the required stuffs to ensure fair event.
