This year I participated in [Global Game Jam 2014](http://globalgamejam.org/2014/games/escape-library) together with some friends. It's an international event aimed at bringing people together and creating simple games in a weekend. Each year has a theme to encourage new ideas - this year's theme was _"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are"_.

In 48 hours, along with the GameJam theme _"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are"_, we created a simple side-scroller game using the [LÖVE](http://love2d.org) Lua game framework, as well as all the sounds and graphical game assets.

My first attempt at using watercolour paint.
My first attempt at watercolour painting. I made it as a birthday gift for a lover of pigs. :-)

Over the weekend up the coast in Merimbula, I went to [SeaChange Startup Camp 2014](http://intoitsapphirecoast.com/uncategorized/entrepreneurs-seachange-startup-camp-merimbula-far-south-coast-nsw-21st-march-2014/) - an entrepreneurship workshop on moving from an idea and creating a viable concept business out of it. It was a great opportunity to put my laptop down, focusing less on the technicalities and more on the business side of startups.

In two days, in a team of five, we worked through idea conception, to market research and viability, to building a basic prototype - and at the end, I got to pitch and demo our idea to a panel of experts.

This year I took part in [CySCA 2014](https://cyberchallenge.com.au/) - a 24-hour computer security competition for uni and TAFE students across Australia. The competition consisted of 'capturing flags' (completing challenges) in a simulated environment, involving tasks such as reverse-engineering programs, network forensics, cryptography and more.

Even though most of my team didn't last the full 24-hours, we still managed to score 33rd place!

One particularly interesting task involved me having to recreate and uncompress a disk volume from captured network traffic (using [Wireshark](http://www.wireshark.org/about.html)), mounting it and restoring deleted files (using [Sleuthkit](http://www.sleuthkit.org/sleuthkit/index.php)).

I didn't end up solving that challenge, but I did come across a tongue-in-cheek easter egg image stating: _"Nope. Not here"_. Although slightly demotivating, I've got to appreciate the level of detail they went into creating these challenges haha. Can't wait till next year!
