What's the endgame of this, given platforms like CodinGame, Kaggle or Topcoder? What sets it aside?

- joooyzee 5y agoThanks for the question! Where CodinGame and TopCoder are great platforms for competitive programming, solvable programming problems and short-form competitions, our longer-term focus is more on open-ended, ongoing sandbox simulations that evolve over time. We think this format will lend itself more to challenging real-world simulations and ML approaches (think self-driving cars, drones, and challenging games like StarCraft II). While Kaggle is great for classification-type problems and even recently started running their own simulation competitions, we feel there's a lot of room for a platform that is 100% purpose-built for simulation-type competitions (e.g. better visualisers, Twitch streams, matchmaking).
