About the Hackathon

CAPTCHA Game Challenge

🚀 Introducing the AI and Business Societies' first Hackathon of the year! This hackathon is sponsored by GotCHA labs - Fun and secure CAPTCHAs for web.

📆 The deadline for this competition is the 17th of November and teams of any size and ability are welcome! 👥

There are two tracks to choose from and the use of AI is welcomed and encouraged! Feel free to incorporate AI tools as much or as little as you’d like. If inspired, please share uploads of your AI conversations to showcase the creative prompts you’ve used!

Track 1: CAPTCHA Game Creation

🏆Prizes for Track 1:

  • 🥇£300 for 1st place
  • 🥈£150 for 2nd place
  • 🥉£50 for 3rd place

‼️POTENTIAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Develop a website that features an engaging, short game utilizing the GotCHA interface (available at: https://github.com/tcerqueira/gotcha-widget-lib).

The game should be entirely mouse-driven to mirror the typical interaction style of a CAPTCHA.

For additional documentation, refer to the GotCHA project on GitHub: https://github.com/gotcha-labs

Track 2: Decentralised Web App for Polygon

🏆Prizes for Track 2:

  • 🥇£300 for 1st place
  • 🥈£150 for 2nd place
  • 🥉£50 for 3rd place

‼️POTENTIAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Create a Farcaster frame that integrates a free token faucet on the Polygon PoS (Amoy) testnet, secured by a GotCHA CAPTCHA. This track involves implementing both the CAPTCHA and the interactive Farcaster frame. Frames offer a way to build in-feed web applications directly within the decentralized Farcaster social media feed, enhancing user interaction.
