Proggy-Buggy – International Programming Competition

On Saturday, December 9, 2023, the next edition of the International Programming Competition Proggy-Buggy Towel Contest will take place. The event is organized by DataArt, a company specializing in technological consulting.

The competition is open to all programming enthusiasts who enjoy solving problems, are familiar with console applications and standard input-output streams, and can write programs. DataArt invites both amateurs, students, and professionals who are actively involved in coding to participate in the competition. The fall edition allows for individual participation or registration as a team of up to 3 people.

The Proggy-Buggy competition consists of 13 algorithmic problems to be solved in 42 minutes. The solution to each task is a console application, and the source code can be written in any programming language (C, C++, Free Pascal, Java, Mono C#, Python, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript). The working language of the competition is English. Participation is free, but pre-registration is required on the website >>> proggy-buggy.com/register.
