Program Description

Event Details

Battlesnake is a coding education game that allows you to build artificial intelligent (AI) powered "snakes." Each competitor’s snake is placed on a board with other snakes, to eat and compete in an arena. The last snake slithering is proclaimed the winner! In this workshop, you'll learn how to modify a base code to personalize your own snake, then test it against other coders. This workshop is designed for experienced coders 11 and over.

Requirements: attendees will need accounts for both Github; a platform where programmers can learn about coding and share code, and Repl.it; which will allow you to copy and test your code. You can sign up with Repl.it using Github.

Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. This introduction to computer science is designed to demystify "code", and show that anybody can learn coding basics. For more information visit Hour of Code.
