 “HackTron v1.0” with highly motivated participation of over 30 univers

 o broaden the game development community in Sri Lanka\n- Encouraging young
  undergraduates who are interested in the game development industry\n- Pro
 vide an opportunity for undergraduates to enter the industry\n- Supporting
  game development companies by creating highly skilled game developers\n-

 t industry\n- Making a new revival in the game development industry in Sri
  Lanka and winning the global stage.\n\nAfter the Bootcamp and the semi-fi
 nal round of the Hackathon\, it consists of 3 continuous days of start-up 
 sessions program\; “Riseup-Industrial Talk with Entrepreneurs”. The 3r
 d day of the “Riseup” program happened on the 31st of October 2021. Ev
 en though Dr.Tharanga Gunarathne was supposed to be the moderator\, he was
