Want to conquer the world but can't afford enough budget? We give you the chance to control your own army and fulfill your ambitions in the safety of your working room. Meanwhile, you will enhance your programming, software design and problem solving skills, but remember, you are not alone !

In CUELC 2nd programming competition, you will compete against teams of computer science students from many universities all over the world to build the best RISK game. Build a fancy GUI that will make others play your game for hours without boredom, or build a sophisticated AI strategy that would crush your enemies without mercy.

To encourage students from different academic levels to participate, the competition is divided into two missions. Students will team up in groups of 3 and each group can participate in anyone of these missions. No matter what mission you choose, you will have a space that is infinitely open in various dimensions to impress us with your creativity.

Mission 1 - Majors
This mission focuses on building the best GUI application that adheres to software design principles. The application should allow 2 human players to play RISK and apply the rules of the game. The focus in evaluation will be on the quality of your design, code and GUI. You are allowed to use whatever programming language you like to create the application. You can use Windows or Linux as your platform.

Mission 2 - Colonels
Now comes the fun part. You will create an AI module that plays 2 player RISK. Participants will be evaluated by letting their AI modules compete against each other. A forum will be opened in which we will discuss the communication protocol that you have to follow to make your AI module ready to compete. Note that this may enforce constraints on the language and/or platform, unlike mission 1 but hey, you are a colonel aren't you ?

Teams
You are allowed to participate in teams of 3 students.

Prizes
In addition to the honor and remembrance by future generations, the winners of each mission shall receive the following prizes: for mission 1 each of the members in the winner team gets an IPod Shuffle; for mission 2 each of the members in the winner team gets a Nintendo DS Lite.

So, hurry up and gather your comrades.

Good luck commander !
