Food + Prizes

Your ACPC-sponsored field trip has taken quite the turn as the camping van crashes prior to reaching its destination. Stranded in the woods, you begin to witness unspeakable things. Now, it’s a matter of survival: will your problem-solving and programming skills be enough to make it through the night?

What is going on???

Welcome to Aggie Competitive Programming Club’s Fall competitive programming contest! Here, You’ll see between nine-twelve competitive programming problems in this contest with difficulties ranging from completely trivial to omega difficult. Whether you are just starting off with coding or are a “seasoned codeforces chef”, we hope that you’ll find a variety of problems that provide the perfect level of challenge for you!

Solving competitive programming problems is all about problem solving + logical thinking and finding ways to implement your ideas in code. Each problem has a well-defined algorithmic solution that you must identify and implement in order to solve.

If you’re a complete beginner, don’t worry! We have y’all in mind, and most of the problems in our set do not require advanced programming techniques or algorithms. Instead, they read more like puzzles!

So come, and compete for the chance to win prizes, qualify for the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC), enjoy free food, have fun with friends!
