--Rules of the contest | |
There are three problems | |
a) Dots and Boxes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_and_Boxes) | |
b) Anti-Chess (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichess) | |
c) Fake-Album-cover | |
How the contest work? | |
The idea of the contest is to pick the best performing school and encourage people to work in teams. There are schools that have over 50 people participating and hence it doesn't make sense to have just one team per school. You can team up with whoever you want and submit solutions (Ensure you fill up your school name, else your entry is invalid). The leaderboard will have a separate column containing the school you represent. | |
How does the scoring work? | |
For the games, every game is played against every other one, twice (no unfair advantage to the first player) and points are given based on number of wins. | |
For the Fake-Album cover question, the album cover images you generate will be up for voting after the contest in the same manner as how hotornot.com works. Only the images will be shown and not which code/school did it to have a fair evaluation. We'll have the voting till end of Sunday. | |
How the game is played? | |
Given the board state, output the next move | |
How do you decide the Top-3? | |
We take the sum of the scores of a school in each of the games and normalize it to 100 as the score of the school. The score is sorted in descending order and the Top-3 are winners. | |
What about office hours? | |
We've talked with the YC partners (who're awesome as always) and Jawed Karim (founder of Youtube).The winning school will get to talk to one of YC partners and Jawed Karim although the logistics haven't been figured out yet since we just announced it today. |
