⏰ Important: With only about 3 hours to code during the hackathon, preparation is key! We encourage you to do some exploration and setup beforehand. This isn’t about being strict - it’s about having fun and hacking together. Get familiar with the tools so you can focus on building something awesome during the event.
Install Python 3.11+ and all ComfyUI dependencies. Get your environment ready so you can hit the ground running.
Set up comfy-cli for faster development. It lets you queue workflows headlessly, manage multiple installs, and handle custom nodes efficiently.
pip install comfy-cli

Install the ComfyUI custom node cookiecutter template for quick project setup during the hackathon.
pipx install cookiecutter
# Use it like this
pipx run cookiecutter gh:comfy-org/cookiecutter-comfy-extension
If you plan to use any cloud GPUs, test your setup and workflows beforehand. Get familiar with deploying ComfyUI in the environment.
Test the ComfyUI TensorRT custom node to understand how it works and what optimizations are possible.

If your project might involve game textures or RTX Remix, test these nodes to understand their capabilities.
