About the assignment
Naval Tech Bots is a game developed internally to host programming events with colleagues. In this game the player has to program their own bot using an API on a server to battle against bots made by other players.
For this task we are looking for a developer to continue working on the features of the game, and for a designer to give shape to (the visuals of) the game. Within a few requirements you have creative freedom over the next set of features and the look and feel of the game. Any additional ideas to further enhance the game is greatly appreciated as well! At the end of the internship we will host a tournament where we encourage others to write a bot for the battle and see who has the best programming skills.
This assignment may be performed in a team if multiple candidates fit our profile.
