Participants in the 2012 Angry Birds Challenge

  • Print

The competition was announced five weeks in advance, so participants had only a very short time to familiarize themselves with the provided Angry Birds software, to set up a team, and to develop their own agents. Despite the short preparation time, 16 registrations were received from many different countries. In the end only eight registered participants submitted agents for the competition.
