Students test their coding skills in new AI game--

#artificialintelligence

Bespoke software development consultancy Scott Logic has successfully launched a newly-created game at its latest undergraduate Hackathon. The artificial intelligence (AI) challenge, which was built from scratch by some of the firm's software developers, was unveiled at yesterday's Durham University Hack event, which was organised in partnership with student volunteers from Compsoc, the institution's computing society, for the first time. The experience-driven afternoon involved an intense period of collaborative coding, in which competitors battled it out in teams of up to six for some sought-after prizes, before chatting with Scott Logic's developers over refreshments. These Hack events, which are held at universities across the country, have been part of Scott Logic's recruitment strategy since 2013. They give students the chance to find out more about the company and ask questions of its staff in an informal setting, while having fun at the same time.
