    I have taken part in 5 short contests ( cup_of_tea), and it's really fun. It's different from codeforces, because it's more artificial intelligence based, taking decisions with euristhics, using alpha/beta pruning to optimize state search...

    There is a graphical window representing the game, where you can toggle a mode to enter debug mode (more infos) so you can viualize directly what your code is doing. The website organize multi challenges during multiple weeks on a game where you develop an artificial inteligence.

          Is this also has to do something with the speed of output to decide whether we win or loose.

              And of course, the time constraints depends on language too.
