Hello gurus,
I once had this program that interpreted a subset of the Java language
to allow you to write movement and shooting patterns for a software
"robot" which ran against a similarly programmed opponent. The idea was
to write the coolest algorythms to blast your opponent while dodging
their projectiles.
I also just read up about an old competition (1999) called "RoShamBot"
where you had to write a bot to battle another player's bot in 1000
rounds of paper scissors rock. This competition was in tradtional C.
I was wondering if there is anything around similar in C# or VB.NET? I
am thinking of instigating some sort of similar competition at my work.
The robot idea would be perfect because once a week the team could get
together and have their C# robots go at it. Then they could go away and
refine it before next weeks competition.
So if anyone can help, or is even doing something similar (in terms of
stimulating their staff's creative juices) I would love to hear from
you.
Many thanks,
Steven Nagy
