A day of wizardry!

The Edmonton .NET Wizards have done it again!

We just got back from the competiton – a full day of hardcore coding, not to mention the week of hardcore working! I think we’re both ready to take a break. In any case, what you want to know is how we did right? Well, we don’t want to count our chickens before they are hatched, but we feel very confident. And if you know Dickson and I, you’ll know we are always very confident. So I guess we’re extremely confident! We find out for sure at the presentation ceremonies tomorrow.

Of the three problems, we were the only team that ended up doing the Planner (the hardest problem). And the judges seemed to be very impressed with our solution and even interested enough to chat with us about it after. The second part of the competition was coding the AI for a tank wars game, and we finished second, very close behind the first placed team (they outscored us 6-2 over the three games we played against them). All in all, we felt that the competition went very well for us, unlike last year!

Tomorrow is the awards presentation, and we also go on a tour of the company and stuff like that, so it should be pretty laid back. Anyway, I think we’re gonna go eat soon, so check back later!
