INF1A FP Competition

Annual Functional Programming Competition

Every year, INF1A host a functional programming competition. Participation is optional, winners get prizes 🏆

The task is to write a Haskell program with interesting graphics. Be creative!

  • Some entries from a previous year are online: https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/fp-competition-2019
  • Prizes: Amazon vouchers. And glory!
  • Number of prizes depend on number and quality of entries.
  • Sponsored by Galois (galois.com)
  • Submission deadline: noon, Monday 20 November
  • Prizes awarded: 2pm Tuesday 28 November

Submissions are judged by a panel mostly on the graphics by their meaning, aesthetic appeal, and creativity (although you will also need to upload a Haskell program that produces the output). Tie breakers will be decided by clean code and clear documentation. A cool idea explained well is more likely to win.
