Yes, on second thought, the actual maze file wouldn't even be necessary,
because the Referee program would simply draw the maze on screen and the
bot.exe's would be able to see this screen... this would work, wouldn't
it?

Well, with the idea of hiding code 'til the end, this wouldn't work. And
the reason we hide code is to see who comes up with the best solution
(however we decide to define best).
Therefore, the Referee (main program) would have to call Bot1.exe and
parse out a sequence created by that bot1.exe file. The Ref still
displays every thing in this scenario.
Irv, did you look at my EUbots War page yet?
