In June, the GEMS creator contest in Geometry Dash was launched by a group of Year 7s through The Key. The aims of the contest were:

To test the creativity of the contestants; to help some pupils improve their creator skills; to promote the use of computer skills in school.

In the contest, players had to build a game level to a very high standard. Whoever designed the best level was the winner. Levels were judged by how fun they are to play and how well designed they looked. Members of The Key team judged the levels.

The prizes included:

1^st Place: 20 IRIS points and to Nandos and the cinema

2^nd Place: 10 IRIS points and a Sumdog “deathmatch” against the other runner-up

3^rd Place: 5 IRIS points and participation in the Sumdog matches

The competition proved to be very popular and there were many excellent entries. A team made up of Umar, Mahdi, Tommy, Hayden and James was victorious and will go on their trip this week.
