What is Terminal?
Terminal is a novel games-based AI challenge for top engineering students. In Terminal, students code strategies to automate play of a tower-defense style video game and compete against other engineers. To see Terminal in action, we recommend you check out this short video from a live event at Carnegie Mellon University.
