Test your AI programming skills with this challenge

As we know, AI is becoming increasingly important and applied in many different areas. And the good news is that you can participate in AI programming with popular programming languages ​​like Python, Java, C ++ and even older languages ​​like Lisp.

In other words, you can apply your skills to the AI ​​programming challenge - fly around virtual worlds, take ships to planets and develop larger fleets to defeat opponents.

Build Bot for battle

Halite (https://halite.io/) is an AI programming challenge open to developers at all levels. Its purpose is to build computer programs (bots) that use coding language (agnostic language) and include it in the war in the virtual universe.

This idea is done by two high school interns (Benjamin Spector and Michael Truell), who are looking forward to the future when they decide to build programming competitions for enthusiasts.

This competition is called Halite II with space theme. You can join this challenge at any time from October 2017 to January 2018.

How Halite works:

1. First, you need to register via GitHub.
2. See some games to feel in the game environment.
3. Download basic bot and starter sets for your platform and language selection.
4. Upgrade basic bot with AI code and track its activity.
5. Update the bot with improvements as you progress in the game.

Follow the game description video below.

Halite is the arena and your bot will be the clerk fighting with other bots. The rules of this competition are very interesting to learn and apply AI, machine learning and other advanced algorithms.

Halite said, just having a smart strategy will ensure victory.
