Entelect 2015 R100K challenge - Space Invaders

Do it, its way fun! They have dedicated forums, go ask there - I am sure all your questions will be answered.
 
I entered last year and had a blast! My pacman AI didn't make it to the finals, but it was awesome watching it battle. Don't consider entering - just do it.
 
Would it be too late to consider taking part in this at this stage?

Straight off their website..
 
I wrote my bot over a weekend. I still want to do a couple of tweaks before submitting, so I am not completely done yet.

They provide template bots, so you just have to add your own logic, which can take anything from a couple of hours to a couple of months depending on how many different things you want to try. :)

I also say, go for it.
 
Yep! Start working on your entry this weekend. You have time.
I did mine in Java, but want to convert it to C# so I can play around with the test harness on VS. I also considered entering the GUI competition, but I'm tied up in more work than I can handle.
Have fun with Space Invaders.
 
Sounds interesting. I'll give it a test on the weekend.
