In association with the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society Games Innovation Conference 2009 (ICE-GIC) and IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG), a Super Mario AI competition is being organized. Those interested can still submit their codes as the deadline is August 18th (ICE-GIC) and Sept 3rd (CIG). Meaning you probably have to crank up the codes in the space of a month. The competition is based on a modified version of Infinite Mario Bros by Markus Persson, which was coded in Java,
Cash prizes are as follows:
ICE-GIC (Deadline: August 18th)
Prizes – USD 200,100 and 50 to respective winners
CIG (Deadline: September 3rd)
Prize – USD 500
