I am Anuj Duggal for "The Developers Show."
This is your weekly update on the coolest developer
news from Google.
We are excited to announce the Flutter Puzzle Hack, our latest
challenge to see what you can do with Flutter,
and a chance to win one of over $50,000 worth of prizes.
We are asking you to develop the most creative, yet solvable,
slide puzzle you can imagine, targeting Flutter on the web.
Whether you create a new design, rebuild a puzzle from scratch,
or integrate packages in new, interesting ways,
we want to see just how far you can push your imagination.
All puzzle projects must be submitted by February 28, 2022.
Winners will be announced on March 23.
You can find registration information and submission
rules at flutterhack.devpost.com.
Developers can now build and distribute
2D progressive web apps that take advantage of Oculus Quest
2's multitasking feature.
PWAs on Oculus Quest 2 are fun and very promising.
The PWAs on this device are just regular PWAs
that can be used unchanged in a browser tab
or through a thin APK wrapper without any platform-specific
APIs.
Targeting multiple platforms with the same code
has never been easier.
Here's to PWAs in VR and on the web.
The future is bright.
Google's coding competition season
just launched with the opening of Hash Code registration.
Hash Code is a team-based programming competition
in which participants form teams of two to four people
and work together to solve a single engineering-based
problem.
The Hash Code qualification round
sees nearly 100,000 programmers competing simultaneously
around the world for a spot in the world finals.
Register today at g.co/hashcode.
Google also offers two other coding competitions, Code Jam
and Kick Start, which are individual competitor
competitions.
Here, competitors solve fun, algorithmic problems
over multiple rounds.
Code Jam and Kick Start registrations open soon.

or check out @GCodingComms on Twitter.
We are inviting students around the world
to join the 2022 Solution Challenge presented by Google
Developer Student Clubs.
The Solution Challenge is an annual competition
that invites university students to develop solutions
for community problems using one or more Google products
or platforms.
This year, we would like to see how
you can use Android TensorFlow, Google Cloud, Flutter,
or any of your favorite technologies
to support one of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals.
The goals include topics like quality education,
gender equality, climate action, and more.
You can also attend the Solution Challenge virtual kickoff
event happening on January 19.

and RSVP for kickoff event on January 19.
India is home to the third-largest startup ecosystem
in the world, and the year 2021 saw several Indian unicorns
successfully list on the Indian markets,
signaling a coming of age for young technology
companies in the country.
We are pleased to announce the sixth cohort of Google
for Startups Accelerator India, with 20 startups, which
were chosen from over 700 applicants
through an intensive selection process.
These startups now join the growing portfolio
of 96 Google for Startups Accelerator startups in India.
