Students from the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) have taken part in an innovative artificial intelligence programming contest organised by the Game Developers Association (GDA) and the Institute of New Imaging Technologies (INIT). The competition challenged students from the Bachelor’s Degree in Video Game Design and Development to design AIs capable of playing two popular card games — *Uno* and *Virus* — autonomously and strategically.

The initiative unfolded in two phases. First, participants were provided with basic game implementations and worked in teams to develop intelligent bots. These AIs then competed in a public tournament held on 5 May at the School of Technology and Experimental Sciences. Attendees had the chance to play directly against the bots, which also faced off against each other to accumulate points and determine the overall winner.

“This project brings students closer to cutting-edge fields like AI from a fresh perspective, highlighting the versatility of this technology”, said Jaume Lloret Rubio, president of the GDA. Gabriel Recatalá, coordinator of the degree, added: “It’s a valuable opportunity for students to tackle real-world challenges and gain visibility across the university. They’re doing exciting things that deserve to be seen and experienced”. The event aimed to showcase student talent while making artificial intelligence accessible and engaging for the wider community.

The Game Developers Association (GDA) is the video game developers’ association at the UJI, focused on helping students in the Degree in Video Game Design and Development grow and thrive in this field.
