About Us

Halite is an artificial intelligence programming challenge originally created by Two Sigma, in which players build bots using the coding language of their choice to compete in an original online multiplayer game. Since 2016, more than 7,000 students and professionals around the world have played Halite, applying algorithms in a dynamic, open source game setting.

Halite III

This year, ArgoScape is excited to host an open-ended challenge based on the Halite framework. The challenge maintains a resource management premise with an ocean theme, where players build bots that efficiently navigate the seas collecting halite, a luminous energy resource. See our Game Overview to learn more about Halite III.

Participants can join the challenge at any time and will submit bots that compete against each other on our game servers to determine rank. As players improve and resubmit new versions of their bots, they can track their progress on our leaderboard.
