Coding For Fun: MIT Battlecode Challenge 2017

Joshua Robinson Articles, Community, Development Technologies & Tools, Educational Event, Programming Leave a Comment

I recently participated in the month-long MIT Battlecode competition where I programmed a team of virtual robots that competed against another team in a real-time strategy game. In this blog, I discuss some of the lessons learned during the programming competition. I was surprised how much of it could be used as a lesson in the real-world of programming!

Weโ€™re in this industry because we love programming and writing code. It is in this spirit that I suggest to all readers to consider challenging yourself and doing something similar to โ€œcode for funโ€ and improve your skills!

You know you work at a great company when you say to your boss that there is a Linux build for the RaspberryPi that is dedicated to playing old arcade and console gamesโ€ฆ. and he agrees to buy one for the company office for the low, low price of a written blog post about it.

Keyhole Software is just such a company and this is the promised blog post. Specifically, Iโ€™ll be talking about the process I used for setting up the Raspberry Pi. Iโ€™m hoping that it will give you a guide (alongside the official documentation) for making your own gaming console!
