At UP FAMNI, the Faculty Programming Competition (FTP) took place. The competition gathered 22 young computer science enthusiasts who enjoyed testing their programming skills in a fun and engaging way between 11 December 2023 and 1 March 2024.

Throughout the competition, students developed a program (player) that played a turn-based game against other programs (players). The main goal was to develop a strategy that responds best to the strategies of other competitors without being able to see their source code.
