Operation Code Clash Presents: A Water Game!

Presents

Operation: Code Clash is back! And with a new challenge: A Game of Flows.

Operation: Code Clash (OCC) is a FREE team-based programming competition for high school students (grades 9-12). It takes place entirely online. The goal of Operation: Code Clash is to provide high school students with a fun yet challenging competition that is often only available at the university/college level.

Operation: Code Clash is different from most other competitions in that the teams compete against each other on a virtual field of play. Teams are presented with a single mission - a game - and must create a program to play the game. This year's game is A Game of Flows, where teams must build rivers and float boats down the river. It's the water game we've all been waiting for. (Watch the video and read the game manual for further details).

Team sign up is open now and more information is available on the website:http://operationcodeclash.org

And don't worry if you think you aren't going to have time to participate while you're getting ready for CMP. The final deadline for code submission is June 5th, so you have plenty of time after CMP.

Feel free to ask questions here.

While not limited to FIRST teams, we're sure there will be some "friendly" competition between the incredible programming talents on FRC teams throughout the world.

I'm super interested in this! However, I'm not a high school student. Is there any "unofficial" way I can participate?

Tou can always download the engine and viewer and program that, but there's no way to differentiate between high school teams and non-high school teams. In short, as a mentor you can't actually submit to the site on your own. Sorry about that.

The registration page: "Passwords must be at least than 6 characters long."

What does that mean? Less than 6 characters long? At least 6 characters long? If it means less than 6 characters long, that's pretty silly.

EDIT: just registered, a 12 character password passed.

Yeah... That should read "at least 6 characters". We'll fix that typo soon.
