Three under 18 team also received special commendation

A husband and wife team have won the UK’s first 24-hour Raspberry Pi hack competition with their creation of a virtual board game.
The winning team, Spooks, developed a board game offering customisation abilities, which encourages players to experiment with programming, a concept ideal for educational use in schools.

The software was designed by husband and wife team Shi and Kriss Blanks (pictured) alongside Chris Armitage and Rebecca Brannum, and included original artwork and music.
Runners up were three Yorkshire-based teams of under-18s, with an average age of 15, who worked independently of adult help.
Castleford-based Chris Leake, Adam Burnett, Scott Glossop and Ross Fletcher created a Pi operated synthesizer which used mathematical algorithms to generate music; Luke Horwell, Billy Beacroft and award-winning hacker 13-year-old Harry Merckel collaborated on a custom-built game in Java aimed at children under-11s; and Leeds-based duo, Yas Karunatissa and Jaspreet Dhajan, developed a Pi operating system to replace its standard Linux.
