UPDATE

Seun:
Hello,

We were unable to pick an outright winner in this contest. No entry gave us 100% of what we were looking for. Some had the best gameplay. Others had the nicest looking boards. Others had the two dice system which is less tedious. Some were bug-free. Some had keyboard support.

No entry had all of the above, for 2 reasons:
1) We didn't want to provide detailed requirements because that would amount to writing your prompts for you in an AI contest.
2) We only gave you 48 hours. That was enough for working prototypes, but bugs can creep in when you're in a hurry.

We tried a point based system through human and AI judges but alas, the results were inconsistent. So we decided to go for "sweetness". Using this evaluation method, we were able to find 3 entries which were clearly better than the others, but we couldn't pick a winner among them.

I'm pleased to announce the 3 co-winners of this contest:
- Techtoyin: https://www.github.com/Tpepper2001/Ludo-challenge (sweetest double dice game)
- Horladoyin: https://www.github.com/Horladoyin/Ludo-3D (sweetest single dice game)
- Vikkkilee: https://www.github.com/vicosmaster/NAIRALUDO (prettiest board, sweet keyboard support)

We expanded the prizes from N375k for 1st and 2nd place to ₦540k for the first 3 (₦180k each).

Shoutout to BelloP, who had a very fun piece movement system. And Uromgoodluck, whose board was very pretty. There are others that I will mention later. I also want to thank everyone who participated in the contest. We look forward to the next one and hope you'll participate.

Hello,

In the interest of shining a spotlight on the coding talents on Nairaland, we are conducting a series of challenges.

The first one is a 3D Ludo Game challenge. This requires you to use AI to help you create an enjoyable Ludo game in a single html file using three.js via CDN to display the game in 3D. The Ludo rules are up to you to decide but must be made clear to the users.

Steps:
Develop the game as specified (single html file) using git for source control.
Push the source code to a private github repo before the deadline.
After the deadline, make the github repo public and post it on this thread for assessment.
If you touch or make any change to the repo after the deadline, you'll be disqualified.

Tips:
Use a powerful AI Like Gemini 3 Pro (free on Google AI Studio and Google Antigravity) for planning.
You will be graded based on everything that makes your game superior to other entries.
Such as the unique features (very important), code quality, UI, and the sweetness of the game.

The prize for the best entry is N250,000. The runner-up gets: N125,000.
The deadline is 10:00am Nigerian time on Thursday, the 18th of December, 2025.

Good luck!

Look at the posts of other people.
Then, look at your own post.

Now, go to one corner, sit down and think about your life.

Why should it be in a single html file?
