## Getting points
Here's a short brief on all the ways you can get points!
- Get a design **approved**
- *Note that not all submitted designs will be approved; they will get checked by a human first*
- **Starter projects**: 2 points
- **Custom projects**: 2-5 points
- Physically build one of your projects
- **Starter projects**: 2 points
- **Custom projects**: 2-5 points
*Generally speaking, to qualify for Undercity, you can expect to get to get 6-10 of your points from building projects, and 2 from side quests!*
- Attend a Highway event
- Sometimes 1 point (dependent on type of event)
- Check the [Events](/events) tab for more!
### Building projects

This is the primary way to get points! When you get a project approved, you can get the following points:
<br>
- **Starter projects**: 1/4 points (solder/hackpad)
- **Tier 3 projects**: 4 points
- **Tier 2 projects**: 6 points
- **Tier 1 projects**: 10 points
You can also get 1-2 extra points if you build an extra polished project! This is up to the discretion of your reviewer. Examples include:
- [@samliu's hackpad](https://github.com/samdev-7/squarepad) (was 4pts, now 6!)
- [@Parker Rupe's 3D printer](https://github.com/ProgrammerTurtle/DoNotDelta) (was 10, now 11!)
- [@dld's Minecraft Jukebox!](https://github.com/danieliscrazy/Jukebox) (was 6, now 7!)

### Doing sidequests!
Need a couple extra points! Not to fear - introducing **sidequests** - these are small tasks you can do to get extra points!
#### Weekly work sessions
Every week, we'll run 1-2 zoom calls where you can get a point. It'll be anywhere from 2-4 hours where we all work on our Highway projects. Anyone who posts an update by the end of it can get an extra point!
#### Writing a guide
If you've physically built a project before, either from highway or somewhere else, feel free to write a [guide](/guides) on it! It's basically a blogpost-style document intended to tell the story of how you built a project! Get 1 point if it gets merged.
#### Showcases
Every so often we'll bring in a personality like Strange Parts, Zack Freedman, and more to Hack Club. Some of these will be designated as a show n'tell session - if you showcase your project in one of these calls, you can get an extra point!

Have ideas for a sidequest? recommend them in #highway!
