Software Department

The ABBUC Software Department is responsible for software releases, the ABBUC Bundesliga, the software competition, and much more.

ABBUC Software Competition

The counterpart to the ABBUC Hardware Competition, which takes place annually and is awarded cash prizes at the ABBUC Annual General Meeting in October. In addition to the rules in multiple languages, you can also view an overview of the programs that have already been submitted (or that won at the end of the competition), and of course, you can register here to participate in the Software Competition… You can find the results from previous years in the overview on the Software Competition page.

ABBUC Bundesliga

Once a month, from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM CET/CEST, a game selected in advance by the Bundesliga organizer using a random number generator is played, and the points scored are entered into a high-score table. The Bundesliga chat takes place simultaneously. The next date is always linked on the homepage – https://www.abbuc.de.
