BonzAI Brawl

  • This a basic AI competition that would be easy enough for all levels of programming knowledge.

  • The idea is for us to just compete remotely from our campus and digitally submit our work.

  • Dr. Carr would like us to get 4-5 teams of 2-3 people together so that we can setup a competition environment here.

  • The BonzAI API is java and that would be the main programming language for the competition.
