Some rather amazing things were happening at the BBM Hackathon, more to come on that later, but we were able to pull Jerome Carty from Kisai Labs away from the coding madness to show us an early version of his latest creation. The application, a Connect Four styled application, still remains nameless while features are added and the game development continues. This game is built on the BBM Social Platform, allowing nearly real time game play between BlackBerry devices.
As you can see above the gameplay is smooth and rather speedy, and while it sits a little on the basic side currently, tons of ideas are running through his head which he hopes to impliment soon. This is only the start of plenty of great things to come. The developers' poor fingers probably want to fall off at this point from all the coding, but they certainly are excited about everything that is coming!
