<p>
The theme for code jam 4 was creating a <strong>GUI application</strong> with the theme <strong>this app hates you</strong>.
19 randomly assembled teams worked on this task for three days from the 22nd of February, 00:00 UTC.
</p>
<h2 id="task-description" class="title is-4"><a href="#task-description">Task Description</a></h2>
<p>
The original task description,
as found in the <a href="https://github.com/python-discord/code-jam-4">repository</a> was as follows:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The theme for this code jam will be <strong>This app hates you!</strong>.
You will be creating an application using a GUI library of your choice in Python.
The application must serve a real purpose, but must also fit the theme.
</p>
<p>
Here are a couple of examples of what we mean by an application that "serves a real purpose but also fits the theme":
</p>
<ul>
<li><p>A calculator app that calculates the right answers, but represents the answer in a way that's completely impractical.</p></li>
<li>
<p>
An image resizer where you have to specify which part of the image to resize,
specify how much force to apply to the resize operation in newtons,
and then manually resize the image by turning a crank.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
An alarm clock app that plays a very loud sound effect every 5 minutes reminding you that your alarm will ring in 6 hours.
The closer it gets to the 6 hour mark, the lower the volume of the sound effect.
When the time is up, the sound effect is virtually inaudible.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>

<p>
If you want to watch the original code jam judging stream,
you can find it on YouTube - all of the submissions are showcased in the stream.
The winning project is showcased at around the 40 minute mark.

<h2 id="results" class="title is-4"><a href="#results">Results</a></h2>
<p>
The <strong>winning team</strong> for this code jam was the team <strong>Cool Crocodiles</strong>,
consisting of Runew0lf, gl4cial, and syntaxaire.
They created a text editor called CrocPad++ featuring an infuriating troubleshooter that would pop up every five or so characters,
sound effects when you type, the ability to insert symbols by turning a dial,
a theme "for blind users", and many more features.
</p>
<h2 id="runner-up-1" class="title is-4"><a href="#runner-up-1">Runner up 1: Team Enthusiastic Electricians</a></h2>
<p>
The <strong>first runner up</strong> for this code jam was the team <strong>Enthusiastic Electricians</strong>,
who made a paint tool called <i>ArtiQule</i> where the pencil point would break,
colors would blend together on your palette, and the paint brush would drip onto the canvas.
</p>
<h2 id="runner-up-2" class="title is-4"><a href="#runner-up-2">Runner up 2: Team Slithering Snacks</a></h2>
<p>
The <strong>second runner up</strong> for this code jam was the team <strong>Slithering Snacks</strong>.
They ade a media player where you had to fill out a CAPTCHA every time you wanted to load a file,
register an account, and confirm your password to log in by typing it with all the characters <i>in alphabetic order</i>.
</p>
<h2 id="honorable-mentions" class="title is-4"><a href="#honorable-mentions">Honorable mentions</a></h2>
<p>While they didn't make it on top of the ladder, the following submissions have stood out exceptionally:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Team <strong>Blue Buckets</strong> won best code quality with their <i>Tinder for Cats</i>.</p></li>
<li>
<p>
Team <strong>Overjoyed <a href="https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Otolaryngologist%27s_Mirror">Otolaryngologists</a></strong>
won best looking UI with their sleek <i>Minesweeper</i> game where you had to press each tile up to 100 times to break it and only got one flag.
</p>
</li>
<li><p>Team <strong>High Houses</strong> won best idea with an <i>on-screen keyboard</i> where you only got some of the keys and additional keys had to be unlocked by gaining XP, leveling up, and getting loot boxes.</p></li>
</ul>
