The VProg competitive programming study groups are continued this semester, organized by BME VIK SZIT!
The study groups’ aim is to work together on improving our competitive programming skills and expanding our knowledge on data structures and algorithms. We solve LeetCode-style exercises on platforms such as Codeforces, SPOJ, etc, in a ‘mob programming’ format, mostly using C++ and Python.
We welcome anyone who is interested in competitive programming!
We run two levels:
Language is English by default, unless only Hungarians are present.

As the Central Europe Regional Contest of the ICPC concludes, we congratulate our teams LSZ and DSU for their results!
In December 2023, our university competed against teams from eight countries across Europe. Team LSZ with Levente Gegő, Soma Szatmári and Zoltán Szatmáry secured the 42nd place regionally, while DSU comprising Azam Rakhmatillaev, Benedek Brandschott and Klevis Imeri ranked 57th.
During the contest, the students were tasked with solving 12 challenging exercises, requiring a deep understanding of data structures and algorithms and the ability to apply these creatively under pressure. The teams had to collaborate effectively, distributing tasks and combining their problem-solving skills to tackle the tasks presented.
Members of both teams before the contest
The competition took place in Slovenia, hosted by the Faculty of Computer and Information Science at the University of Ljubljana. We’re grateful to them for organizing the competition and our sponsor, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics from our university for funding the travel of our team members and coach to Slovenia for the event.

We have spent the last year training hard in preparation for this competition, and we are determined to step up our performance for next year, doubling our training sessions to twice a week, dedicating three hours each time! We invite you to join us at VProg and be part of our next year’s roster! :)

Aimed at 2nd year software engineers at BME, who are just starting out with competitive programming.
This semester, we decided to turn VProg Intro into a video series, coming out weekly on Fridays.
More details in the first video - uploaded a bit earlier - check it out here: https://youtu.be/j_AS8H_99uw
Tuesdays 18:00, room IB134
If you have former experience in competitive programming (aka Nemes Tihamér, OKTV Programming II, IOI, CEOI, ICPC, Codeforces, etc), join us in the advanced sessions.

The International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC, formerly known as ACM ICPC) is one of the oldest, largest, and most prestigious competitive programming contests for college students in the world. The first round, ICPC Hungary is held every year at ELTE University.
In this contest, teams of three compete against the other teams and the time. Problems must be solved and submitted in either C++, Java, or Python. It is beneficial for the teams to have at least one member who is familiar with basic graph algorithms and data structures, and someone who has good programming skills. You can check out the exercises from last year here. If you’re interested and/or don’t have a team yet, join our competitive programming student club, VProg on Discord!
The two best teams from BME participating in the competition will have the opportunity to represent our university in the regional round, which will be held later this year in Wrocław.
Your team must be registered in order to compete. The registration deadline is 13 October 2024.
Send an email to Prof. Katalin Friedl at [email protected] with the following information in either English or Hungarian till 13 October:
Subject: ICPC registration
Contents:
The round is invitation-only, BME delegates the top 2 teams from ICPC Hungary.
CERC will be held between 13-15 December 2024 in Wrocław, Poland.
