Today, the Halite team from Two Sigma shared their project with us! Almost ten company members joined us in talking about their jobs and in giving us a look into the company dynamic. They talked about their roles, the challenges, the diversity, the goods, and what can be improved, which lead to a very thoughtful and real conversation between the members and the students. Then, they dove right in to their side project, Halite! They gave us a demo, and encouraged us to create our own bot. They have starting code that new users can play around with and to be introduced to the game. Give it a try! (It may even help you get an interview at Two Sigma!)

Halite is a TS-built open source competition; it’s a fun, territorial, bot-building AI/programming game with a dynamic leaderboard populated by ever-grasping bots battling to the top. It has essentially no relation to our business, but it gives players a glance into one of our collective extracurricular time-eaters.

Thank you Two Sigma for sharing Halite with us and for giving us an insight into the company! Without a doubt, many students will get hooked on this AI game! (Thank you for the delicious food too!) Sign up for our newsletter here and like us on facebook to find out about more events we are hosting!
