It was supported by a variety of sponsors such as Bloomberg, Paypal \/ Braintree, etc. Prizes were given out to those who could use their API the best in their piece of software they wrote in 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>However, we went for something a little different. Having taken part in Ludum Dare before a few times, I knew that if we could pull off writing a game in 24 hours it would be great. All that \u201chard work\u201d paid off, and we actually won a Raspberry Pi each for our game!<\/p>\n<p>While everyone was making apps that could make purchases, or using a huge range of data, we made a <strong>goat themed procedurally generated hat collecting arcade game<\/strong>!
