Close your eyes and think back to your childhood. Can you remember the games you loved to play after a long day at school? We wanted to make it easy for you to bring some of those childhood memories back to life (or at least to 3D), so we created this repo.

For me, the further “into” a technical platform I get, the more I observe and appreciate the level of design and interaction around it. I’ve gone deep into platforms to enable geolocation and mapping, media streaming, AI, augmented reality, and recently, cloud services. Through learning and teaching countless APIs and writing docs and examples to support them, what ultimately drives me is seeing the experiences and solutions that developers build. When I need to tap my own creative side, I always find my way to coding games or smart devices - lately using CircuitPython. This creative outlet has a big payoff for me. I love observing how others interact with what I’ve built and that motivates me to continue exploring what can be done.
In Zach’s words, Voxel art is a “3D visualization of points of data in space.” Since seeing how flexible Voxel art is and hearing Zach’s passion for artwork, we wanted to see what the rest of the community would come up with, so Zach helped us put together a contest (running Aug 8 - 29) that inspires artists to revisit their favorite childhood video games and recreate scenes in Voxel. We partnered with the open source Voxel editor MagicaVoxel to host discussions during the contest so participants can discuss issues and share their work. Everyone has the chance to win prizes awarded by both Akamai and MagicaVoxel.
