> The challenge? Spend 100 hours developing a 30+ minute long languageless game and get a $750 stipend to fly to Shanghai, China, to present your game.

Yikes. That stipend might not even cover the cost of round trip airfare. And this is apparently a weeklong (?) event.

I'm sad to say but I've sponsored some of these coding competitions and you always pick the team that comes closest to the vision that matches your company that you present at the beginning of the competition, even if some other team accomplished something interesting.
