Rules

Hey! Welcome to ConquerHack 2026 👋

Overview

ConquerHack is a 2-days bot programming competition where you'll build an AI algorithm to play a strategy game. The game will be revealed at the start of the event - so no peeking!

Teams

• Team size: 1 to 5 people
• Find your teammates on Discord before the event (team formation closes Friday 23:00)

Programming Languages

Pick one of these for your bot:

• Python
• Java

Go with what you're most comfortable with - you'll be using it for the whole 2 days.

The Fine Print

• Code must be written during the event after the game is revealed
• Only libraries in the provided Docker environment are allowed
• Submit your code to the Gitea instance we provide - make sure it's on the main branch

Check the timeline on Discord for the full schedule and match times.

Scoring

The scoring will be disclosed on the first day during the presentation kickoff.

There will be prizes for the top teams!

Basics

• Be cool to everyone
• No cheating (don't play the game manually, don't snoop on other teams' bots, don't try hacking or breaking other bots, or the game engine)
• No spam (don't try to DOS the game server or other bots with excessive requests/messages)
• Keep bot/team names appropriate (not political, not offensive, etc.)
