[ANN]Coding Contest - count me in! ;)

[MisterX]

Excellent Bjornke! 

I just warmed up with a multi-Parts permutation to targeted Sum 
(or any function) best-fit optimizer including a divide and conquer 
algorithm... To be presented soon... lots of testing cause
i can't afford the support time ;)

The roboWar game is tempting me seriously... 
It's got to come down to the Art of Warrior Objects...
Add a weapons and recog layer, strip it down, 
add forcefields and neutron cannons ;)
aaaah, the imagination is flowing ;)

2D or 3D ? Infinite space allowed ? ;)

See why i mentioned the above optimizer...

--

The 10 lines cool code too but hmmm not another clock ;)
Maybe a bot ;)

Another IM... I was planning to write one for my own
bots... 

I hope we're tested based on age and jedi-level
or newbies will stand a poor chance...

Let's foster revolutionaries' imagination ;)

"The acme of war is not in killing a maximum of enemies,
The acme of war is not in defeating an easy enemy to defeat,..."
