ACES Techfest Hackathon v7.0

Team: Team Apollo

Rule Book see here!

Things to consider:

• Participants are not allowed to bring pre-existing or ready-made projects. All work must be initiated and developed during the hackathon. (We will regularly check the codebase.)
• If any irregularities are found during the checking, it will lead to the team's disqualification.
• Participants are encouraged to collaborate not only within their teams but also with mentors and organizers for guidance.
• Every team must make at least one commit every 6 hours on the given repository.
• All the code must be pushed to the given repository.
• Only make useful commits. Do not make random or unnecessary commits. Commits should be meaningful and relevant.
• First Commit: One commit is already done by ACES while creating the repository. Your first commit should be made after the event has started, with the message: first commit: [commit message].
• Last Commit: Do the final commit after the event is completed with the message: last commit: [commit message].
• Any team who commits after the last commit tag will be disqualified.
• After the last commit, you are allowed to commit only once to upload your presentation to the repository with the message: upload presentation.

Code Quality and Documentation:

• All code must be well-documented. Use meaningful comments to explain the purpose of functions, algorithms, and critical sections of the code.
• Follow best practices for code structure, naming conventions, and readability.
• Avoid code duplication. Write clean and maintainable code.
• Ensure that your code follows standard coding guidelines for your chosen language and framework.

Team Conduct and Behavior:

• Teams must behave respectfully towards all participants, mentors, and organizers.
• Any form of harassment, discrimination, or inappropriate behavior will lead to immediate disqualification.
• Teams should collaborate effectively, ensuring each member contributes positively to the project.
• Professionalism is expected in all communications during the event.

Mentor Assistance:

• Mentors will be available to provide guidance and advice on technical issues, debugging, and project development.
• Mentors are not allowed to code on behalf of any team or make decisions for the team.
• Teams can ask for advice on best practices, problem-solving techniques, or design decisions, but they must develop the project independently.

Submission Guidelines:

• Submit your final project by uploading the presentation and project files to the repository.
• Include a README file explaining the project, its features, and how to run it.
• Your final commit should include any demo materials or additional files required for judges to evaluate your project.
• Ensure all documentation is complete and the project is functional before submitting.

Judging Criteria:

Will be informed before the event.
