1. New contest anyone?
It maybe time for a new contest. Some may remember the one I managed some time
ago; it seemed to appeal to quite a few people. I've had some new thoughts about
a simple contest so if there is a mood to have another go, let me know and I'll
set it up.
Suggested Tasks:
(a) Implemented a new 'board' game (I have the rules).
(b) Modes of play (any combination of) ...
Person vs Person
Person vs program
program vs program (not necessarily your own)
(c) Prizes for ...
* Smallest algorithm implementation (excludes fluff and I/O lines)
* Most successful (program vs program)
* Viewers selection for most elegant.
The 'program vs program' section is where your program would play against other
people's programs in a tournement.
There will be opportunity for you to submit any number of programs as I'll run
daily tournements and post the results during the contest period. This will give
you feedback on your program's success or otherwise, so you can tweak it as
needed. I expect once opened, I'll run it for a month. Prizes yet to be decided
but they will be worthwhile

Besides cutting up a car with a torch, for parts and scrap metal
money. Cutting up 2, maybe 3 more. Not much money, but i can
sure use the parts, there's stalled projects awaiting them.

I did enjoy http://www.cyty.com/robocom/?area=main
so I assume I'd have some nice time with an Euphoria
based board game.

The ancient Japanese game known as go-moku (five in a row)
is a good candidate, I think.
