Post by: codefest11 on February 10, 2011, 06:51:41 AM

Hello,

CodeFest'11, the annual international online coding festival of Computer Engineering Society, IT-BHU presents VIRTUAL COMBAT (http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/event.php?name=virtual%20combat)  to prove that Codes do fight. Virtual Combat is a competition designed as an extension to the educational game - Robocode (http://robocode.sourceforge.net/), where robotic tanks are programmed in JAVA to battle against other tanks in a simulated battlefield.

Why should you participate?

    * Exciting prize money of 35,000 INR
    * New features added to Robocode: Obstacles, Capturing the enemy flag, new rules.
    * Excellent platform to learn Java and other fields of computer science like artificial intelligence, robotic path planning and neural networks.
    * A fun-filled event where you can challenge any other team for the war and keep updating your code till you "build the best and destroy the rest".
    * Easy to participate as it takes just a few minutes  to code a simple robot, but perfecting a bot can take months.

So Register yourself (http://www.itbhu.ac.in/codefest/), Create your team (http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/teams.php), Download the application (http://www.itbhu.ac.in/codefest/virtual-combat-setup.jar) and Get started (http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/blog/?p=195).

Hope you fight hard. See you on the battlefield !

Regards,
