Challenge your programming and teamwork skills in the Software Engineering Team National competition, sponsored by Sendza.
Do you eat, sleep and drink code? Is Java more than just coffee? Python more than just a snake? C# not just a note on the scale? Ruby more than a precious gem? Are you looking to put your skills on display and show that you've got what it takes to develop real software?

The BPA and our SET event sponsor, Sendza, would like to welcome eligible members to this year's Software Engineering Team competition! We had several great submissions for last year's groundbreaking challenge, and we've looked forward to seeing what our members' ingenuity and talent can do again this year.
Your development team has been contracted by a games publisher, BitBlit Interactive (BBI), to write an application for their new product initiative codenamed “Project Wayback.” Your task is to create a video game for sale to gamers of all ages. BBI wants to capitalize on the surge in popularity of retro-style video games by publishing a polished two-dimensional top-down action role-playing game in the style of the classic 8-bit titles of the 1980s such as Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda and SquareSoft’s Final Fantasy series.
