AI Contest

The AI Contest is back! Your mission will be to program a robot to play a simple game for two players. The robots will compete against each other and there will be prizes for the authors of the best artificial intelligences. This year, the challenge will be a never-before-seen brand-new game and you will have to develop robots from scratch. Good luck!

Further details about the challenge will be published in the forum in the run up to the party.

The bots will run under Linux in a separate process with communication by stdio. The game will be played in turns (not in real time) and the participants will be provided with information on the protocol and an example written in Python. The bots can be developed in any programming language that is available in the Ubuntu 13.04 official repositories and a README with the list of dependencies and compilation instructions must be included.
