Inter-College Coding & Algorithmic Strategy Competition Code. Compete. Grow. Organized by Mindflare | MAIT, Delhi DEADLOCK ’26 is an inter-college coding competition organized by Mindflare, the Algorithms, Data Structures, and Competitive Programming Society of Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, Delhi. The competition begins with an online coding qualifier and moves to an offline final where algorithms compete in a dynamic, strategy-driven environment. Two rounds. Different challenges. One leaderboard. Competition Format: Round 1 — CODE SPRINT 1 November 2026 | Online A competitive programming qualifier testing logical reasoning, algorithmic thinking, and problem-solving skills. Participants will solve coding challenges within a fixed time limit. Top performers will qualify for the offline finals. Round 2 — AGENT ARENA 3 November 2026 | Offline at MAIT, Delhi The finals take a different approach to competitive programming. Participants will develop algorithm-driven agents that compete against one another in a shared, evolving simulation. Alongside competing agents, an adversarial system known as The Warden will challenge their strategies, forcing them to adapt, optimize, and make decisions under pressure. Performance, efficiency, and strategic decision-making will determine the final rankings. Detailed rules, technical re…
