Byte-le Royale

About

What?

Byte-le Royale is a 24 hour programming competition where competitors in teams of up to 3 write an AI to play a video game. The teams will be competing against each other to see who can create the best AI!

When?

Saturday, February 9th at 11:30 AM to Sunday, February 10th at ~2:00 PM

Where?

Quentin Burdick Building, Room 104

Who?

Anyone can compete, as long as you are in a team of 3 or less. To keep things fair, non-students are not eligible for prizes and are not considered in the final rankings.

Game

Set out with your fellow competitors to accumulate the most wealth. Exploit, steal, or earn an honest living to gain more income over the course of a match than any other team.

Once the event starts, you will have 24 hours to write an AI capable of making you into a new-age Rockefeller. Never forget that sleep, planning, and analytical skills are essential to a successful business venture. Get plenty of sleep!

Controlling your agent will be as simple as using a basic Python API, which will allow you to take various actions in the game world.

To be prepared for the competition, make sure to have Python 3.7 installed on your computer. We will be able to provide limited aid installing Python on Windows and Linux. While it may function, we do not support Mac, and cannot provide any assistance (though look into Mac's homebrew application). We will not be able to provide computer facilities, so please bring your own.

Once the event starts, a link will be added here that will allow competitors to access the documentation for the game and its API.

Here is a link -> to the GitHub repository of the game's source code.

RSVP and Food Tickets

RSVP

In order to better judge how many people will be attending, we would like to encourage everyone who plans on attending to RSVP. Attendance of the event is 100% free. We will, however, be offering a food ticket package. Additionally, to save time, you can RSVP up to three people (the max number of people in a team) at one time.

You can RSVP at the Eventbrite page found here.

Food Tickets

At the event from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Saturday, we will be selling $10 food ticket packages. This food ticket package will include 3 food tickets redeemable for the two meals listed on the schedule, as well as a goody bag that may consist of: Chips/Crackers, Candy bars, Cans of Pop, Cookies. All perfect things to keep your blood-sugar levels high, and keep you pumped up.

Our intent is not to make a profit, so all money not spent on meals will go towards filling those goody-bags.
