About the project​

This contest was a two-week AI coding and optimization challenge. I love this kind of AI challenge; it was very enjoyable to code.

The goal: take out the armed forces in search of incriminating data. The more data gets saved, the higher your score; other aspects of your performance also affect it.

It was not necessary to pass every test case to get a good score, but solutions are ranked first by percentage of cases passed, then by score. The players with the most points across all validation test cases at the end of the two weeks are the winners.

Technical highlights​

  • Optimizing distance to the enemy bots
  • Optimizing movement and data point retrieval
  • Optimizing shooting distance
  • Managing multiple variables in real time
