This is the final week before picoCTF goes online. On Monday, we had our ETC soft opening presentation. With most of the work being finished, we had many positive feedback from our faculty members.
Since the picoCTF team is on the final preparation stage before launching the competition, we went to Cylab and navigated through the whole game multiple times to ensure the stability of it. Besides checking the code, we also reviewed all the dialogues and the animation with PPP members.
At this Friday, picoCTF is eventually launched on 10:00 AM EST, the picoCTF team monitored the first few hours together. At the first few hours, we found that every player was enjoy this competition, and some teams even finished the first three levels! Since the high enthusiasm and great performance of participants, we could firmly draw a conclusion that picoCTF will be the greatest middle and high school computer security competition!
In the next few days, programmers will be mainly concentrated on the maintenance of the game, and artists will create the visual of the T-shirts, certificates and trophy.
