What it does
On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.
The site, in 2003
Google's international programming contest, where entrants solved algorithm problems against the clock in any language they liked.
It began in 2003 and ran for twenty years. Google announced its end in February 2023, held four farewell rounds that April, and left an archive of every problem to download on GitHub.
In 2003: The first contest. It ran on Topcoder's platform, as it did until 2007.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2003 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2003, then plays a short scene. Want Google Code Jam in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
