Student Programming Contest 2010

After the success of last year’s student programming contest, Realtime Worlds is hosting its second student programming contest on Saturday, 6 March 2010 at 11 a.m in Abertay’s Whitespace, Dundee, Scotland.

The contest is open to university students of any year, as long as you can program. It’s an algorithmic programming contest, similar to the IOI or ACM collegiate contest but in our competition the questions have a game programming slant and each team has just one computer. Last year’s contest was hugely enjoyable for all involved. For more details and last year’s questions, please see the write-up.
