Re: [CodeFest] Virtual Combat : An extension of educational game - RoboCode. Prizes worth 35,000 INR.

Hello Robocode programmers,

We would like to notify you that Virtual Combat
<http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/event.php?name=virtual%20combat>   is a
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
video <http://youtube.com/watch?v=v1rY3tyTj50>  .

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>
to grab the prizes worth 35,000 INR. Phase 1 will end on March 7.

See you in the battlefield !
