competition on an extension of Robocode, where a team has to capture the
enemy flag in the presence of obstacles. Have a look at the promotional

The submissions have already started. Few top programmers have gathered
and 1522 battles <http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/vc-all-matches.php> have
already been fought in just 5 days of tourney. So, download the
application <http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/virtual-combat-setup-2.1.jar>
and submit your robots <http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/problem.php?pid=61>

Why should you participate?*
- *Exciting prize money* of* 35,000 INR*
- *New features* added to Robocode: *Obstacles*, Capturing the enemy
flag, new rules.
- Excellent* platform to learn Java and other fields of computer
science*like artificial intelligence, robotic path planning and neural
networks.
- A fun-filled event where you can *challenge any other team* for the war
and *keep updating your code* till you "build the best and destroy the
rest".
- Easy to participate as it takes just a few minutes to code a simple
robot, but perfecting a bot can take months.
