Hello,
We are delighted to inform you that [COLOR=red]CodeFest[/COLOR], the annual International online coding festival of Computer Engineering Society, IT-BHU, has been unveiled.
CodeFest is a unique fest wherein concepts of mathematics, logic, artificial intelligence, algorithms, language syntax, etc. are required to be deployed in programming; these concepts manifest themselves in solving problems effectively and efficiently!
CodeFest was started last year. CodeFest’10 was a phenomenal success with participation from all over the globe.
CodeFest’11 is geared up with some new and pepped up events, while maintaining the integrity of its standards.
Here is a brief description of the constituent online events:
* [[COLOR=#0000ff]Mathmania[/COLOR]](http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/event.php?name=mathmania): A mathematical puzzle contest that puts mathematical and computational skills to test.
* [[COLOR=#0000ff]Manthan[/COLOR]](http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/event.php?name=manthan): An algorithm intensive programming contest that would require coders to tailor existing standard algorithms to solve real life computation problems.
* [[COLOR=#0000ff]Virtual Combat[/COLOR]: An educational game wherein teams of programmed robotic tanks will fight the battles for glory. Codes Do Fight!

* [[COLOR=#0000ff]Perplexed[/COLOR]](http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/event.php?name=perplexed!): A programming contest, aimed to test the knowledge of C, wherein codes will be rewarded against syntactic constraints.
* [[COLOR=#0000ff]Ratespiel[/COLOR]](http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/event.php?name=ratespiel): A technical quiz covering different areas of Computer Science.
This year CodeFest, in association with [COLOR=#0000ff]Technex’11[/COLOR], brings onsite events:
* [[COLOR=#0000ff]Eniac[/COLOR]](http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/event.php?name=eniac): An open software exhibition where you get an opportunity to demonstrate your software from any domain.
* [[COLOR=#0000ff]Code Warrior[/COLOR]](http://itbhu.ac.in/codefest/event.php?name=code%20warrior): A multiple round contest to award the title of 'ultimate computer geek'.
