Russian AI Cup 2015: race for survival for programmers

We are pleased to announce the start of the next International Artificial Intelligence Programming Championship - Russian AI Cup . This time the championship was named CodeRacing. Braves who dare to take part will have to program artificial intelligence to control a racing car. But he will not only have to play the role of a driver, but also simultaneously shoot his rivals. In the "game" world, there are four types of units: codemobiles, shells, bonuses and fuel oil puddles. The most "dirty" techniques on the track will only be encouraged: you can push other people's cars, damage them and break.



You are free to choose any of these languages: C ++, Java, C #, Python, Ruby or Pascal.



Qualifying selection began in the Sandbox on November 16. The participants who showed the best results will be able to continue the game in the next rounds of the championship, more complex and exciting. You can polish the skill of your AI for the entire championship.
