Pixel Bot Wars

I like the idea of Battling Euphoria Pixel Bots ...

A similar type of 'competition' has been running for a while now that
has been orientated towards robots designed using Arizona Microchip PIC
processors.

Although specifically targeted at PIC users there may be some things
that could be considered if we are going to 'do battle' on a grand
scale.  Check out ...

In the spirit of proper project management we need ...

1) The goals of what we're attempting to do / achieve defined
2) The 'battle environment' ( Euphoria wrapper ) defining
3) The calls that a particular Pixel Bot can make use to do / see things
defined
4) Someone to be given a humongous salary to be a co-ordinating committe
chairperson
5) Jam biscuits and cups of tea / coffee ( no java )

I think Pixel Bots is a brilliant idea.  Providing the harness is well
written / well documented as are the individual Pixel Bot programs this
may also serve as the 'Beginner's tutorial' and 'examples' that have
also been discussed.

For those who don't like the idea of having mass-murdering Pixel Bots;
we could have two ( or more ) classes [ oh no, object orientation ! ],
psychotic and cowardly - they can either choose to fight or hide in the
corner achieving whatever goal they want.

I shall think on this over the weekend.
