Byte-le Royale is a 12 hour programming competition where competitors in teams of up to 3 write an AI to play a video game. The teams will be competing against each other to see who can create the best AI!
Saturday, January 27th 10am to January 27th 10pm 2024
In person and Online! We'll be streaming on our Twitch Channel and have discussion on our event Discord Server! The in person competition will be held at the QBB on the NDSU campus
Anyone can compete, as long as you are in a team of 3 or less. To keep things fair, non-students are not eligible for prizes and are not considered in the final rankings.
This is a meritocracy, so of course we have prizes. We will be offering prizes to the top three teams who
compete (once we collect donations).
We will be splitting the prizes roughly 55%, 30%, 15% for undergradutes.
Any other standing that is not of undergraduate will not be eligible for prizes.
Any prizes that are not won will be rolled over into the prize pool for next year.
$275 per person
