Overview

Hacking is building things that you always wanted to have but no one has built it yet. It's to come up with an amazing idea and work tirelessly on it. It is to fail, fail again and fail better. Try out new things and learn while doing that. It's to work together, collaborate and build things that are innovative. It is to be a better programmer.

With that spirit, Ryerson University is conducting a hackathon - RU Hacks and invites all developers and hackathon enthusiasts to participate in an interesting and engaging hackathon.

Multiplayer and web enabled games on PC has only seen more adoption year on year. And to think that both these platforms are less than 10 years old only means one thing - there’s a huge wave coming for mobile developers. Are you going to ride it?
