Prior to the hackathon you can create your design, wireframes, logo, and user flows. You can even build hardware. But to make things completely fair, you cannot write any code whatsoever until the hackathon starts. All code must be put together at AngelHack. You're on your honour.</SPAN></P> <P STYLE="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 8px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"> </P> <P STYLE="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 8px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size: large;">Slideshow 'how it'll magically work' presentations = autofail.
