[Defconapi] Competition Deadline

[spooq]

I would like to enter, but as always it is a question of getting
enough time, I only heard about the comp recently. Hopefully I will
have something up and running!

> Hi all!
>
> I just wanted to remind you of the Defcon AI competition at the IEEE CIG
> 2009 in Milano (7th-10th September 2009).
> As the conference is nearing, I have to set a deadline for the competition.
> It will be Sunday, 23rd of August, 23:59.
>
> Please consider taking part in it, as there is a cash-price associated with
> the first place (however, I think you have to attend the conference to get
> the actual price, I will confirm that). And, of course, a lot of prestige
> ;-)
>
> To remind you, here's a wrap-up of the competition format:
>
>> Each bot plays 30 matches against each other bot, in a series of
>> one-on-one matches with bots playing in each of the possible starting
>> territory configurations. The game will run on a limited-information mode
>> (i.e., bots cannot see units hidden by the fog of war) and the victory timer
>> will start no later than 4 hours into the game (additionally to the usual
>> game ending conditions). For each match, the resulting score (standard
>> rules: 2*kills – own casualties) is recorded for each player. In the end,
>> the player with the highest cumulative score wins.
>
> As usual, people are shy to submit early, so I only have a very limited
> number submissions for now. Consider writing your own bot, the source code
> of the original Introversion bot supplied on my project page (
> http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~rb1006/projects:api ) should give you enough to
> start with. Maybe some little tweaking there will be enough to make your bot
> the best ...
>
> Also, if you intent to take part, please let me know, as the conference
> organizers want some idea how many submissions there will be.
>
> Happy coding,
> Robin
