Hi! I've been part of the team behind http://aichallenge.org/. We just
started our next challenge about 30 minutes ago.
This will be the first time that DMD 2.054 is supported there and since
I've been posting on this NG a few times I though it would be a good
place
to make an announcement.
So here is the deal: You write a program that controls a population of
ants. You get a number of ant hills and explore the map with your ant
horde looking for food to produce more ants and enemy ant hills that you
can raze for points.
There is fog-of-war and obstacles. Moving ants in groups gives them
better
chances to survive by outnumbering enemies. The map is on a grid and
ants
wrap around if they move over the edges. A match usually has between 2-8
players and is turn based. The players make their moves simultaneously
within a time window of 500ms. Oh yeah and it is free to sign up and
requires no previous knowledge in AI programming.
Feel free to ask questions on the IRC channel #aichallenge on Freenode.
Sounds cool, but there's actually a list specifically for announcements:

Thanks for mentioning it.
