contest idea
I'd like to see contests where programs compete with each other, instead of time or (yuck!) a deck of cards. Like battlebots.
Maybe a pirate ship game where the program has to decide to shoot bombs (low range, hi dam), cannonballs (long rang, low dam), grape (short range, kills crew) or chain (sail damage). Or, when to run and repair, or when to close distance and sink, or when to disable sails and try to escape?
Off the top of my head:
Targets:
- hull. sinks ship
- sail. ship's speed
- crew. weapon fire speed
Weapons:
- Cannonball
- Bomb
- Grapeshot
- Chainshot
