claus Perhaps it would be interesting to generalize the notion of a 'game' so that programmers could design their own simple games to compete in as well as designing game-playing agents? I'm not sure if this presents problems as far as running untrusted code but it would add a lot of appeal to the site in my mind. If designed right, the agents could be run against multiple games; seeing a hierarchy of agent performance across a number of different challenges would be very cool. David
