Abstract

The jass challenge hackathon is for every jass and/or KI enthusiast who wants to compete against other bot implementations. You are asked to implement a jass bot in your favorable programming language which will communicate with a given server.

Goal

Main target of the hackathon is a running bot that can play against other bots. During a given tournament time a highscore is evaluated to reveal the best KI-bot.

Setup & Rules

At the beginning the opensource jass server is given an can be used to test your bot. During the hackathon we perform 2-3 test runs where running bot can compete against each other. These test runs are not relevant for the final highscore. At the end of the hackathon a final tournament will be started to select the best bot.

• You have to duplicate your bot to form a team
• Your bots are NOT allowed to communicate with each other
• A wrongly communicating bot will always lose
• You are only allowed to use bot skeletons. Using other bot implementation (opensource) is not allowed

Winnner

At the end a final tournament will be started and evaluates the best bot (Glicko 2). The winning team will get two GoPro cameras as a reward. If the winner team agrees the winning implementation will be used as a reference at other hackathons.
