More than 140 Bothell and Inglemoor C# computer program students worked in teams for two months on the design and implementation of their C# computer programs in anticipation of the Microsoft competition. Each computer game design project was judged by two Microsoft software engineers, one focusing on game play and the other on the quality of the underlying C# code.
