We are the Undergraduate Projects Lab. We provide an environment for undergraduates to work on programming projects of their own devising. The pages here cannot do justice to the multitude of projects that are perpetually created in the UPL, but serve to showcase some of the more refined works that have been developed here.
If you are interested in becoming involved in the UPL, visit us anytime the UPL is open. We welcome any major or experience level.

Updated util: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47857717/rps/Util.java
To use it:
- make a java file with a unique name; eg Foo.java
- make a class inside that file with a method: public int roll(Util util). This must return Util.ROCK, Util.PAPER, or Util.SCISSORS. See Util.java for the helper methods provided.
To run your program against another, run:
- sh run.sh <yourname> <theirname> <num_rounds>
- eg, sh run.sh Foo Frequency 1000
Some basic bots are provided for testing and examples.

News
- We are going to be creating a series of tutorials for the Spring 2012 semester.
- The mailing lists are up again. They are now hosted by CSL and have new locations:
- upl-users {at} cs.wisc.edu
- upl {at} cs.wisc.edu
- upl-coords {at} cs.wisc.edu
- All desktop machines are new and have new names. Mouth should still be available if you need remote access.
- Now all machines will drop ssh connections from outside *.wisc.edu (for security reasons); ssh into a CSL machine first if necessary.
