Send to email | Google Uses Portal For Programming Contest [Google Code Jam] in Google code jam Google News Portal | By Stuart Houghton el 11-Aug-2008 | Hmm.

Google has announced details of its annual sponsored Code Jam programming contest. In Round Two, programmers are given a 2D grid representation of a Portal level. The portal guns 'work', albeit in 2D. The coder's task is "Given the maze, your initial position, and the cake's position, you want to find the minimum number of moves needed to reach the cake if it is possible." Yeah, right.
