ACM is proud to present the fall MegaMiner AI Tournament, sponsored by Lockheed Martin!

Image

Starting last semester, a small team of ACM'ers started writing games that are made to be played by AI's that can be written with minimal coding skill in 24 hours. This semester, the game is called "Elements" - the rest of the details about the game are unannounced until the day of the tournament so no one can get an advantage...

The website has details about the event, and it also has a link back to the game from last semester, but a quick summary:
-November 7th, 5:00 - November 8th, 6:00
-Civil 115
-You can do this AND MinerLAN, you just won't sleep much :) Berto's doing it...
-There will be prizes!

Any questions/comments? Please post them here or email

Also, usually people want to know how hard it is to compete in this... the answer: not very.

If you've taken CS53, you'll probably do fine. Really, if you know how to use the <vector> types in C++, then you'll be good to go. You'll see stuff like this in the AIs:
Quote:
for(int i=0; i < myUnits.size(); i++)
{
MoveUnit(myUnits[i], 0, 0);
}

It's a lot of fun!

I added registration to the site - if you're interested sign up! If you don't have a team, we usually put together teams when people show up so it's no big deal!
