----------------------------------- bugzpodder Thu Jan 19, 2006 12:51 pm Imagine Cup 06 ----------------------------------- As a member on the advisory board of IC06 algo division :D I urge you to join in this competition (ranges from algorithms to a wide range of other things like games AI, networking and etc) www.imaginecup.com ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Fri Jan 20, 2006 12:18 am ----------------------------------- What exactly is the level of this competition? Would a fairly advanced high school student be wasting his time trying to compete? ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Jan 20, 2006 12:33 am ----------------------------------- Fairly advanced highschool student will not be wasting time. I belive they have highschool divisions :think: I was participating last year in AI category - loads of fun actually. And since most of categories are team based: Software - up to 4 Film - up to 4 AI - up to 2 Interface - up to 2 You could team up with another user(s) here on compsci ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Fri Jan 20, 2006 12:38 am ----------------------------------- Hm. I'll talk to Cervantes about teaming up for the highschool division. I hope he has time. I hope I have time, actually. ----------------------------------- andytyk Fri Jan 20, 2006 8:29 am ----------------------------------- They removed the high school divisions this year and the contest has been scaled down considerably. At the start of this year, high school students were not permitted to compete but they decided otherwise just before registration opened. So the registration rejected all high school students until they fixed it. The algorithms is usually a lot of math, the IT requires a lot of knowledge of the Windows server system. ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Fri Jan 20, 2006 12:53 pm ----------------------------------- Natually I am not at liberty to reveal information related to the algorithm competition, but I will say this. Round 1 is accessible to EVERY high school student. Hence I encourage everyone to participate. ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Fri Jan 20, 2006 4:10 pm ----------------------------------- Alright, I'm registered :) I also entered the Project Hoshimi thing. It seems something similar to RoboCode, and that's a lot of fun. It says teams of 4 -- anyone from compsci.ca interested in making up a team? ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Fri Jan 20, 2006 4:31 pm ----------------------------------- i thought project hoshimi has only 2 members on a team ----------------------------------- zylum Fri Jan 20, 2006 4:46 pm ----------------------------------- yeah its teams of 1-2 individuals... Hikaru, you wanna partner up with me? ----------------------------------- Cervantes Fri Jan 20, 2006 5:32 pm ----------------------------------- Hm. I'll talk to Cervantes about teaming up for the highschool division. I hope he has time. I hope I have time, actually.
