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!

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).
