Schedule

Rounds will be run on Sunday nights, starting June 23, 2013. We will do a fresh pull of every bot that has been submitted, run each bot against each other bot, and post the results.

We'll have 4 weekly rounds, where you can change your code to make your bot better. Average placement will determine the winner!

We're planning on recording the the matches so that you can playback and watch your bot's performance.

Bot code will not be made public by default.

Rules

  • Don't cheat.
  • You can work with someone else.
  • You can submit multiple entries, but they can't collude.
