JRobot Coding Convention The current JRobots-Framework
One team, one robot, one arena. Within four hours the participants develop a control algorithm for a Java-bot - target acquisition, path finding and everything which is helpful for a robot to hold its ground.
Several methods are provided for controlling your bot: you can move it, you can use the radar to find your enemies and you can control the fat rocket launcher mounted onto your bot to give your enemy hell.
eekendOfCode| The Weekend of Code is about writing a program from
Friday Evening until Sunday Morning which will be scored by several different criteria (usability, efficency, creativity, …). The best teams (up to 7 people) will be rewarded.
Allowed are programs of all kind in every programming language. But consider that a program written in Brainfuck may get better a score than a program in Java.
Beside the competition the exchange between the teams is also an important aspect.
