If you’ve been following the competition long enough, this comes as no surprise: our swag got delayed a few times, just like in previous years. All the packages have finally been shipped, though!

Want a quick overview of the best games our competition had to offer this time? Or maybe you’re just looking to learn? We’ve got you covered with two excellent videos, prepared by Jupiter Hadley and Ania Kubów for freeCodeCamp respectively.
