In this course you will apply much of your CS knowledge
to breathe life into avatars that need to
survive in a virtual world of avatars created by your peers.
We will also create an arena for the avatars.
In order to create effective and fair teams, we want to make sure
that no team is loaded with one skill while other teams 
lack that skill.

Your skills:

Please estimate your skills in the following topics on a scale
from 0-10: 0: no skill, 10: excellent skills.
