Dell’s code team wanted a fun way to engage with visitors and drive participation during their activation at SXSW....
So I came up with Stellar Wipeout! The quintessential gathering of the galaxy’s most talented and insane boarders. The object of the game is to zoom as far into deep space as you can without wiping out. Special stunt maneuvers allow you to avoid obstacles along the way. This game hearkens back to the classic 8-bit games of the past, packed full of pop culture Easter eggs and engineering jokes. At the end of the project, the source code was donated to the Linux Foundation and made open source for the public to enjoy.
