Hacker Coder Competition Winner

The Challenge

Create a 2D Spider-Man clone that captures the essence of web-slinging mechanics and fluid movement. This intense 2-week competition challenged developers to build a complete game from scratch, implementing complex physics and smooth animations.

Over 2000 developers from 30+ ries participated, pushing their limits to create authentic web-swinging mechanics, wall-crawling abilities, and combat systems.

Competition Timeline:

Week 1: Core mechanics implementation
Week 2: Polish, optimization & submission

Skills Required

Game physics, character controls, collision detection, and creative problem-solving. Participants needed to demonstrate mastery of Python game development, implementing realistic physics engines and smooth character animations.

Technical Stack

Python game development with advanced physics and animation implementations. The project required expertise in Pygame, vector mathematics, and state management to create a polished gaming experience.
