All the excitement of March Madness, without the sweat
Several top universities to participate in a computer programming competition called a “Code War”.
A code war is a contest where each team is given an identical programming problem. Each team then writes a solution to the problem in the allowed time and the solutions are run against each other. In this case we are creating a game where each team writes an A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) for the game. We think an A.I. is fun because instead of the result being a score for each team with the high score winning, you watch players move on the board and shoot each other. The play-off is a lot more interesting.
I think this is probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard of. I’d much rather watch this than sports!
