The registration for Hello World Open has begun. It's a team (1-3 persons) competition where you have to code an AI for a race car and then let it compete against others.
Here are some important dates:
- April 15th: coding begins
- April 22nd: sign up ends.
- April 29th: coding ends
- May 6-8th: qualifying rounds
- June 5th: finals
There are also some prizes:
- 1st place: 5000 euros
- 2nd place: 3000 euros
- 3rd place: 2000 euros
- 4th to 6th place: sponsor prizes
It seems that people under 18 are not allowed to participate :/
I really hope that C++ is allowed even though not mentioned in the web site...
I actually cannot believe that someone is trying to organize "the first ever Coding World Championships" (lol) and not even mentioning about it on Codeforces or practically anywhere... Anyway, I think people here should hear about it.
EDIT: New sign up deadline (April 7th -> April 22nd)
Nice.
Not to mention it's not coding in general, but just AI creation.
What do you mean, how can we create AI without a code?
"Not coding in general" isn't the same as "not coding" :D
What I mean is that there are many forms of competitive coding — algorithmic, AI creation, optimization of various forms, etc. TC Open is a good example. Also, I was replying to
I opened the front page and saw "Develop an AI". Do the organizers consider nothing else "coding"?
