What’s GameDev?
In the Innokas GameDev event, students work on a freely themed digital game that can be played on a computer. The event has two divisions of competition: (1) Scratch and (2) Open (Gdevelop, Unity, or other game development platforms).
The game is sent to the pre-qualifier using an online form, and the game is presented in the regional tournament of your region. Teams of the GameDev events can participate in the regional tournament both remotely and on-site.
The teams that have advanced from the regional tournaments compete for positions in the final event of the national Innokas programming and robotics tournament.

GameDev Scratch
In this division, games will be developed with the Scratch programming environment (www.scratch.mit.edu). This division is primarily intended for students who do not yet have experience with text-based programming.
GameDev Open
In this division, games can be developed with Gdevelop, Unity, or other (preferably free) game development platforms. The use of anything other than Gdevelop or Unity must be approved by the head judges in advance.
