Imagine Cup 2007 er skudt i gang. Jeg vil gerne støtte og gøre det sjovere for danske studerende der deltager i Imagine Cup. To af de kategorier man kan deltage i er: Algorithm og Project Hoshimi Programming Battle.  

Jeg udlodder to Xbox 360. En til hver af de danske studernede der klarer sig bedst inden for de to kategorier. Når 1. runde er overstået 1. marts, finder jeg den deltager med flest point i hver af konkurrencekategorierne. 

Du kan tilmelde dig her:

Når du er tilmeldt, kan du inde på www.imaginecup.com se hvordan du ligger placeret. I skrivende stund er der nogle få der har tilmeldt sig Programming Battle - alle tilmeldte har 0 point hvilket vil sige at der ikke er nogen der har indsendt deres AI endnu! I Algorithm er nogle allerede lidt i gang:

Der er altså rigtig god mulighed for at vinde en Xbox 360.

Klarer du dig ydermere rigtig godt, kan du også kvalificere dig til verdensmesterskaberne i Korea til august.  Microsoft betaler alle omkostninger;-)

Her kan du læse en kort introduktion til hver af de to kategorier. 

 Project Hoshimi Programming Battle

"Imagine that you are the only one that can save a person, a city, or even a nation and that you can use the right combination of strategy and programming skills to do this. The Project Hoshimi - Programming Battle invitational brings to life the world of Professor Hoshimi and his faithful crew of scientists and programming experts in a fantasy of life and death. This popular competition uses a background story, comic style graphics, and very real challenges to test the skills of programmers everywhere and allow them to compete, directly online, with people all over their nation and eventually the world to see who has the fastest program to save the day. In Project Hoshimi - Programming Battle, you write the code representing the behavior and the strategy of a team of characters going through different types of missions. The results are not only fun to create but also fun to watch as the programs play out in a virtual 3D environment for all to see."

Algorithm

"The Algorithm Invitational highlights the pure skill of one's ability to solve a problem. The discovery and use of the right algorithms, clever implementations and application, are building blocks upon which the whole field takes collective steps forward. In our world of limited processors and limited storage there is a dire need for this art. It is through this remarkable skill that we can attempt unimaginable feats like decoding the human genome, routing millions of packets across networks, and even searching the entire internet. The Algorithm Invitational takes competitors through a series of brain teasers, coding challenges, and algorithmic puzzles, and seeks to engage the sharpest student minds in technology around interesting problems."

Bemærk at der også er andre kategorier som du kan være med i. Læs mere på www.imaginecup.com. Jeg støtter deltagelsen i alle kategorier.

For at deltage i Imagine Cup skal du opfylde disse regler. For at vinde en Xbox 360 skal du desuden være studerende i Danmark.
