Rules

This file describes the rules in depth.

WORK IN PROGRESS

This document is not finished and subject to change. Although the general content idea will stay the same, some details could change

Important notes

Please keep in mind that we, the organizers, are organizing this hackathon to have fun, and want other people to have fun as well. We put in our own free time into organizing this, so please don't start rule lawyering, trying to find loopholes or just generally messing around.

Also, although we have listed these rules here for clarity, please keep in mind that the idea of the hackathon is to build a chess-bot completely on your own. Please use common sense.

Questions?

Is a rule unclear, or would you just like to check if you understood it properly. Feel free to send the organizers a message on slack or approach them in person.

General rules

  • The source code, including a working Makefile, must be submitted via the form in the expected format. Please see the "Submitting" section for more info.
  • You are allowed to submit up to 3 bots max per team. The highest scoring bot will be the only one that determines your placing in your league.

Team rules

  • Team sizes:
    • Minor league: max 3 Codam students
    • Major league: max 2 Codam students and/or alumni

General code rules

  • All code must be written during the event. This means no preparing code in advance.
  • All code must be written by your team and your team only. This means no generative AI (i.e. ChatGPT, Copilot etc.) or asking a "friend" to write the code for you.
  • Unless explicitly allowed, the usage of external libraries is forbidden. This includes "standard" libraries included in some programming languages. See "Allowed libraries" for more info
  • No execve-ing etc. of code that does not adhere to the rules.
  • No networking code
  • No trying to exploit any vulnerabilities in any of the programs used in the tournament (VM, tournament program, your opponents program, etc.)

Allowed libraries/external functions

Please note that, although these are categorized by their language, you are allowed to call any of the allowed library functions from any of the allowed languages. This means that you're allowed to for example:

  • Call C standard library functions from Rust
  • Call C++ standard library functions from C
  • Call Rust standard library functions from python
  • ...

General

  • Linux syscalls and their wrappers

*Note: Some syscalls will be disabled (fork, clone, etc.) and/or limited during the tournament (mmap, (s)brk, etc.), see the VM info file for more information about the environment the bots will be in.

C

  • C standard library, from ANSI C to C23
  • GNU C standard library extensions
  • GCC and clang extensions/compiler built-ins

C++

  • C++ standard library, from C++98 to C++23
  • GNU C++ standard library extensions
  • GCC and clang extensions/compiler built-ins

Rust

  • Rust standard library

Python
