TREBLLE HACKTOBERFEST 2023
A Nightmare on Coding Street:
Conquer Github's Dark Dungeons
No tricks, just treats. Sign up!
In the dark heart of GitHub, where code nightmares come to life, Treblle's Hackathon for Hacktoberfest awaits!
Developers, heed this call of dread! Venture forth and craft your sinister SDKs to win favor with the ancient forgotten gods of the Treblle Community Repo. But beware, for GitHub's haunted halls hold merge conflicts and unresolved issues that can ensnare the unwary.
However, amid the terror, there's still room for laughter. This hackathon unleashes your coding creativity, forging tools that'll haunt the digital realm. Will you be a coding champion, or just another forgotten line of code? The choice is yours. Github repositories beckon!
To enter, submit your soul —I mean, application— via the dreaded Google Form. Once accepted, form alliances with fellow developers to navigate this digital labyrinth and await your judgement day.
The sands of time are running out for you, so make haste. Adventurers set off on their dreaded journey on the 15th October 2023. Anyone left behind, will be lunch.
Sincerely,
Count Codula

You will be building an SDK for our platform, Treblle. Your SDK can be built with any language or framework of your choosing.
If our judges find that you have copied from an existing official or community SDK then your SDK will not be taken into consideration, and you will be disqualified from the Hackathon.
If you need help in building the SDK here is the link to our documentation, otherwise our judges will be available during office hours in our community Discord.
Each team can have a maximum of four members, where one has to be named the team captain. You are able to enter as a solo developer, however you are not allowed to participate in more than one team, or as a team and a solo entry.
If you are participating as a member of multiple teams, or as a solo developer and a team, both the teams that you are a member of and yourself will be disqualified from further competition.
Does your monster squad have a team name? You can be “scary”, but be respectful with your naming. Even vampires and zombies have feelings.
Our board of vampires and zombies reserve the right to change your team name if it does not comply with our Community guidelines.
Every team consisting of 2 - 4 members must have a name, and if you are competing as an individual, a “team” name is optional - you can simply use your name or use an alias if you wish.
Our judges will rise from the dead to go through your code and your SDKs will be fairly judged.
After they have a fresh brain for breakfast, the things they will be looking at are as follows:
- Masking
- Load Balancing
- JSON Schema (80% covered at least)
- Securing API Keys
- Example project using your SDK
- Use our SDK template
- Updated README with complete instructions on how to setup said SDK
- Setup SDK debugging logic
To see in detail how Treblle SDKs are built, please reference the documentation.
When you have finished with your Hackathon submission, you still own the code on your GitHub repository.
We will publish a link to this in the Treblle Community repository as well as in our official documentation.
Once you have finished with your submission, you need to invite the judges to a Treblle project so they are able to see a working example.
They will also need to be given access to the GitHub repository so they can review the code, and test it themselves.
Once these steps have been completed, simply signal us on Discord so that we know you are ready for judgment.
Individuals who are residents of, or Organizations domiciled in, a country, state, province or territory where the laws of the United States or local law prohibits participating or receiving a prize in the Hackathon (including, but not limited to, Brazil, Quebec, Russia, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and any other country designated by the United States Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control)

It is then down to the team captain to distribute the prize in their own agreed way. We are not responsible for how you handle distribution of prizes.
