Uno isn’t a solved game, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try!!
Come and join HackSoc this Thursday, 12th of February in School of Computer Science A01 at 18:30 to play a few games of the hit card game Uno! There’s just one rule though, any moves you make must be decided by a program that you’ve written! No rules on any programming languages or other constraints, go wild!!
May the best program win.

Not one, but TWO workshops all about getting started with game development in Unity! Coming to a Jubilee Campus building near you soon!
In the first workshop, we focus on game design and mechanics, giving you the tools you need to take your ideas from just a thought to a fully fledged system. Next time, we learn to implement them!
Have you ever wanted to pin the facial features on the Oli Sharp profile picture? You have come to the right place! Goose Games is HackSoc’s attempt at hosting an IRL games night, and if the SU is reading this, we promise this shares NO similarities with a certain netflix show.
We will be running a variety of children’s party games all thanks to the fact that our president used to be a party entertainer.

For our first event of the year, we will be bringing back an old favorite - Hacker Round Robin! Hackers (that’s you!) are challenged to build a simple project HOWEVER! every 10 minutes you will have to move to another computer (and another project!). The only thing you will have to look at is the last person’s code.
Hopefully by the end of this we have a bunch of fully functioning projects (and not a mess!

Join us for a workshop focusing on Advent of code! Advent of Code is a series of programming challenges run during December. We will be running through some advice for the challenges and some examples. It’s not too late to start!
We have a leaderboard this year, which you can join via the code 4270229-ecb4b4a5.
Lightning talks is our annual (nearly) end of term event, where anyone can give a 5 minute talk on any topic they’d like. It will be taking place in the upstairs function room at the Rose & Crown.
The evening is not limited to tech, last year we had talks on type theory, FNAF lore, and actual lightning!
If you’d like to give a talk - please get in touch via this form.

Our personal project showcase is the perfect time to show off anything you’ve been working on (no matter how big or small), and it’s a great chance to get inspiration for your next project!
We are looking forward to seeing what you bring :)
Our second installment of the much-loved lecture slide karaoke! But this time with PhysSoc! We promise there is no actual singing (unless you want to).
In lecture slide karaoke, should you wish to present, you will be given a lecture slide deck you have never seen and you will be presenting it as if you are the lecturer!
If you aren’t comfortable to present, feel free to ask the “lecturer” really annoying questions!
