1. Contest #2: eubots.ew
Just a suggestion: since the only thing competitiors are allowed to modify are
the "name" and "description" global vars, why not put them on top of the .ew
file, with a comment line below that'd say "Don't edit below this line" ?
It would be clearer at no cost.

Instead of having to specify the coordinate of the unit to be ordered,
why don't we use an ID number?

Because the .ew file is shared between all competitors. I'm not
accepting a modified eubots.ew file, only a program file that conforms
to the spec.
The name and description are global vars rather than locally declared
constants because a function inside eubots.ew needs visibility of
them.

Depends on the map. At a guess, I'd say 20-30 per team.
A map will be a bitmap, with colors corresponding to the id of the
player. 0 - blank. 1-254 - player, 255(BRIGHT_WHITE) - wall.
If anyone wants to send me some map ideas, I may use them for the tournament.

Cause that's complicated. 
If you look at the eubots code there's
only a single instance of the map and metrics. It makes communication
delays a lot smaller - but it wouldn't work with ids.
I have to make some changes to things, but I should have a barebones
'engine' program up soon, that takes program names and a map name as
arguments, and runs a single match.
