Reply’s online competition dedicated to solving logic and
algorithm problems, which saw the participation of more than 20,000
coders from 95 countries in 2021, has reached its fifth edition and
this year, once again, raises the bar.
At the heart of this year’s Reply Code Challenge 2022, the
team-based competition aims to introduce new generations of talent
to digital and coding culture, is the gaming world.
The goal of the challenge is to use an algorithm to optimise the
score within a video game based on the characteristics of the
player, the characteristics of the enemies to be defeated and the
number of rounds played.
Reply has been active in the gaming world for years with Game
Studio and B2B initiatives. The company entered the world of
eSports in 2020, with Reply Totem eSports, one of the main teams in
the international competitive landscape.
The competition, open to coders from all over the world, is set
to take place online on Thursday 10th March, 2022.
As usual, there are two challenges taking place at the same
time: the Standard Edition, aimed at university students and
professionals, and the Teen Edition, open to young participants
between 14 and 19 years of age.
This fifth Standard Edition is now enriched with the
University Students' League programme. The new programme
allows each participant to contribute both to their team’s score
and to that of the university they attend. The university with the
highest score, based on the sum of the scores obtained by the
coders who attend that university, will win a prize of their
choice, consisting of financial support for a university project or
an Arcade Game for common areas.
The younger participants of the Teen Edition, on the other hand,
will be challenged with logic and maths problems. Moreover, the
Train&Win programme is also back this year. Focused on
teachers and students, the platform will become a real-life coding
gym, with exercises and study materials available to help prepare
for the international competition on March 10th. This year’s
formula is a new one: over the course of three weeks, students will
be able to train on problems that simulate the Code Challenge,
accumulating points for their school and launching a real challenge
between secondary schools. At the end of each week of training, the
school with the highest score will win a cash prize to be invested
in educational initiatives and a programming course designed by
Reply experts for students.
The teams will be able to submit all the solutions they can come
up with during the competition timeframe, making use of any
programming language, including C++ and Python. The podium will be
determined by the algorithms that obtain the best score during the
tests.
With the launch of the Code Challenge, Reply inaugurates the
2022 Reply Challenges calendar. This year, Reply is excited to
confirm that it will proceed, once again, with its
Sustainable Investment challenge in April, designed
to introduce students to financial investments, its Creative
Challenge in May, the biggest challenge in Europe for young
creatives - organised in collaboration with leading international
brands - and its Cyber Security Challenge in October,
focused on the search for specific vulnerabilities hidden within
software and computer systems.
The Reply Challenges, which currently boast a community of
140,000 participants, together with the Reply Code For Kids
programme and Reply’s Second-Level Master’s Degree in AI &
Cloud, offered at the Politecnico di Torino, are just some of the
examples that demonstrate Reply’s continuous commitment to the
development of innovative educational models that engage with the
next generations.
