Results HackDay # 32 in Penza and an invitation to Samara

On September 26-28, together with SECON and Central Control Commission , we opened the autumn HackDay series and held HackDay # 32 in Penza. A total of 73 people gathered, who presented 14 prototype projects. Read about them under the cut.





At the very beginning of HackDay , 21 ideas were announced on the site and 4 more were submitted without an application on the site. Only 15 were able to assemble the teams and decide on development. One team surrendered and, as a result, we saw 14 prototype projects at the demofest.

So, now about everyone:

“In one click”
A team of a project manager, 3 developers, a PR manager and a designer, introduced a platform for mobile applications that will help service companies and registries solve the problem of recording customers using the concept of “one-click, here and now”, i.e. using the minimum time spent and anywhere. At the demofest, a solution was presented that will help a person book the nearest free car wash in 1 click, and a car wash to get a client painlessly.

The project was awarded in the “Startup” nomination established by the IIDF .

Machine gunner's day

The prototype of the arcade first-person shooter, dedicated to the difficult everyday life of the Gunner. The player’s goal is simple and noble - to defend the homeland from advancing units and enemy equipment. However, the weapon reveals its crushing power only in skillful and caring hands. The player will not only shoot, but also constantly maintain the machine gun in working condition.
Combining various input mechanics (tapes, swipe, accelerometer, microphone) and first-person view, the game allows you to fully get used to the image of your virtual alter ego. The Android application is here.

The project was awarded in the Hack nomination.

And now about the immediate plans

The nearest HackDay will be held October 17-19 in Samara. Now in the Samara region there are more than 30 large IT companies that work in the Russian and foreign markets. More than 50 large federal and foreign companies have their representative offices in the region. Large IT forums and conferences are held in Samara and Tolyatti, in which more than 4 thousand people participate annually. Nekhilo, right? Only one 404 Fest is worth it.

At HackDay you can always try out new technologies, get acquainted with a huge number of like-minded people, do something that you constantly don't have time for and just have a great weekend. If you want to get prizes from HackDay and partners or get investments after the launch of the prototype, pay attention to the individual HackDay nominations.

The event is shareware. The cost is 400 rubles, but everyone can write a motivation letter in which it is necessary to explain why the organizers should pay for the site and meals and how you can be useful to the participants.

See you in Samara! Registration and details here .
