WIN THE BATTLE ROYALE TO WIN A SWITCH OR PS4

ABOUT

|AI|EEE Hacks 2019 was UCSB IEEE's first hackathon with a 10 hour long AI battle for a new Switch or PS4!

Participants, in teams of up to 3, programmed an AI script for the newly-designed Colorfight II, a round based tile conquering game where players secure as many resources as possible to win.

We saw an amazing show of skills, as 64 hackers developed a variety of different ways to approach the competition. Thank you to all 150+ participants of |AI|EEE Hacks 2019, and we hope to see you in the future!
