We clain for badges:

  • Happy Camper – for using a lot of extraordinary goods like Lego building, game consoles and a lot of sweets
  • Community Champion – for encouragin other teams build something cool, inspire by old nintendo and sharing the sweets
  • Remarkable Teamspirit – for keeping an incredible team spirit

In a world where technology moves at the speed of light, it’s the nostalgia for the past that often brings us together, grounding us in the shared memories of simpler times. This sentiment is beautifully captured in the latest night update from Nintendo, a surprise that has sent waves of excitement through the team!

Now we have two oldest nintendos!

And the Nintendo GAMEBOY:


And, naturally, the LEGO serves to enhance team spirit.

Leveraging External Data to Enhance Mario Kart Race Simulations

We’re excited to announce a significant enhancement to our Mario Kart race simulations! By integrating data from mariowiki.com, we’ve enriched our simulations with detailed attributes for karts, drivers, tires, and gliders.

detailed stats

The data was easily available in table format already, so we just copied and pasted it into excel and uploaded it to dataverse. We decided to not make it more complicated than necessary

We then integrated the static data from mariowiki with out own python script to generate and simulate races. Using actual characters and maps enriched our racing statistics, and brings it closer to reality.

Keeping up the spirit and championing the community!

Posted on by

The team is maintaining their exceptional spirit, working tirelessly into the night and starting bright and early.

Of course, having warp pipes that burst with candy always boosts morale, even in the early hours.

Speaking of candy, we continue our role as community champions, assisting other teams with technical inquiries and, in turn, receiving support ourselves (shout out to Peaches and the Donkeys!).

We also focus on maintaining the judges’ blood sugar (and liquid) levels, something we believe is important for the community.

We also continue to help out in other ways, embodying the true spirit of the competition.

In the quietude before dawn, there’s a unique phenomenon at play, much like the pioneering spirit seen in cloud-based solutions and Power App development. Just as the Morning Glory blooms in the early hours, cloud technology flourishes in the nascent light of innovation, pushing boundaries before the rest of the world wakes up.

Seizing the Dawn: Our Quest for the Morning Glory

In the quiet hours before dawn, our team gathered with a shared resolve, embarking on our quest for the ACDC Hackathon’s “Morning Glory” badge. This early start wasn’t just about the tranquility that the morning offered, but it was a testament to our dedication to innovation and efficiency. As the sun rose, so did our ideas and productivity, setting a strong foundation for the day ahead. This practice not only accelerated our project’s development but also deepened our team dynamics, proving that the early bird does indeed catch the worm. Our commitment to seizing the dawn has been a pivotal strategy in our hackathon journey, embodying our ethos of discipline, collaboration, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
