Welcome to AutoCompete! Sign up and register your self and your team.
Today we're teaming up with Seattle JS Hackers and SeattleCSS! This means we've gathered two fun types of problems for you to solve.
On the CSS side of things El from SeattleCSS has created three challenges for you! Work through them and we'll take time at the end of the night to show off what everyone created.
For this challenge, we would like you to create a Halloween themed pure CSS drawing (with optional animation)! Maybe a jack o' lantern or a flying ghost. This is an opportunity to get really creative and add something fun to your Codepen!
Example: https://codepen.io/dazulu/pen/JaZKej
This challenge requires thinking outside the box. We want you to enhance an already existing frightening photograph with creepy additions using only CSS. Haunted house images will be provided!
- Follow @SeattleCSS on Twitter to find where they've posted these spooky images:

This challenge has more of a UX focus. We want you to build a landing page for Rosenheim Mansion (you can find info about it online). You can go two ways with this challenge: either put together landing page with a great user experience, or build the worst, most unusable and terrifying UX you can come up with.
On the programming side we have a GitHub repo with a packet of problems. Each problem requires writing a program that reads text input and prints out the answer to the problem. You can use any programming language you like to solve the problem!
Our judges will run your programs to verify output. We are especailly well-suited to run Ruby, JavaScript and Python programs. If you plan to use Java, C++, C#, Kotlin, Go, Rust, Julia, or anything else please let us know! You are totally welcome to use any language you want, we just want to make sure we can run your programs on our machines!
The problem set contains about 8 problems of varying difficulties. You may solve them in any order you wish. You can have up to three people per team, and only one laptop among those three people.
Read the rules in the repo.

The repo just contains these rules and explanations so far. The problem set will be released when the contest begins. Perhaps wait to fork the repo (or pull in changes) once the contest has started.
