Equvialent of RoboCode and/or Terrarium for Ruby?

Yes, that is the premise. You build bots and put them into an arena where they compete against each other.

It's such a neat concept, there was the last time I checked a pretty large community around RoboCode with lots of users writing tutorials details different AI approaches.

Heh, I've thought about building stuff like that many times ... the problem
is, I'm a geek so I always gold plate it with user-definable weapons, etc
... smart weapons ... etc.
But it would be cool.
And we should build a gui front end for it. Good example project for
people.

Does robocode allow the user to compete against a bot ?
Could be a nice feature to allow it, might even enable the user
to train a neural net or somethin.
SDL ?

Although I'm just starting to learn Ruby and really don't know much about AI
programming I think this would be something really fun to contribute and be
a part of.

What would we need just to start? Who's interested?

Somebody should register something on rubyforge...

I'm interested too.

Tim Bates registered rubots a few years ago.

The hard parts, as I see them, are:

1) The tournament framework - the "server" that runs the "client"
user-robots.
2) The graphical sub-system

There are still on enough AI tools on Ruby. I've wrote excelent robot
with Jess. And I think I'll need in tool like that on Ruby.
Is there any rule engies on Ruby? May be it will better to start with
this?
