Hi.

Russian AI Cup 2016: CodeWizards is an annual online competition organized by Mail.Ru Group.  This year's task is to write a bot for a simple DOTA-like game.  The competition is open for international participation: starting this year, there is an English translation for everything (it may be rough at the edges though, for example, some pages may still use Russian by default, but the English version is also there).  Public beta started on November 6, and the competition end is on December 25.

The languages supported out-of-the-box are C++, C#, Java, Pascal, Python (2/3), and Ruby.  However, the participants may translate the language-specific development package into other languages and contact the admins to enable their use on the site.  Currently, the support for D, Go, and JavaScript are added this way (official announcement coming soon).

My relationship with the competition is working on the D language package.  I hope to take part, too.
