Sydney Ruby users' group meeting tonight!

Hi all,

The code Harry attached is a port of some of the sample C code provided at
the site (http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~darse/rsb-sp.c) . I've implemented some
of the simpler bots - feel free to have a go at the more complex ones in the
sample code. The code has a very simple round-robin system that pits each
bot against every other bot.

This was a result of a quick search for 'code contest' via google. I'd be
interested if anyone has seen similar concepts or has any ideas of
games/bots etc that would be fun and relatively quick to code. Things like
'Core Wars' or 'Real Time Battle' come to mind but are probably a bit
complex for a quick hack.

see you in Woolloomooloo,

Martin

There is of course the “many robots compete to collect thingies” in this
years ICFP contest.
I believe they released the competition source.
