It seems that being so much into other programming things I missed the
|
||
[Google AI Contest](http://ai-contest.com/) announcement. It's
|
||
supercool that they sponsor such challenges but also it's really uncool
|
||
[so like warm ?] that apparently I won't have time to participate.
|
||
|
||
About the challenge itself - it involves working with
|
||
[GalconFusion](http://www.galcon.com/fusion/)-like game. Easy to
|
||
learn, difficult to master type. As they provide starter packs with a
|
||
sample bot it's easy to start. However, getting some decent place would
|
||
involve some really long time of good old hard work.
|
||
|
||
As a side note on .NET being spread around the unix world, there's a C#
|
||
starter pack. Good. After few secs I realised that the code will be run
|
||
under antique [Mono 1.2.6](http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.2.6/),
|
||
therefore none of my young C# friends would be there. No type inference,
|
||
no linq, no other fancy stuff. Not good.
