Message-ID: Democracy has predictably failed, and so I have just picked a random game I made up. What could go wrong? You can get it from http://matches.ucc.asn.au/progcomp2013/manager And a sample agent at http://matches.ucc.asn.au/progcomp2013/sample It's 3am, so I'll leave it up to you to work out what the game is. Just run the manager program with the path to the sample agent and you can test it. You need python and pygame. I think it's about as fun as monopoly for human players, but hopefully interesting from a progcomp viewpoint. Otherwise we'll do quantum chess.

It's only midnight, so I think this decision is at least 3 hours better than the last one. Despite the name, you don't actually have to know about quantum mechanics to play quantum chess. http://research.cs.queensu.ca/Parallel/QuantumChess/QuantumChess.html I've pretty much finished an implementation for our purposes. It is available from the git repository: http://git.ucc.asn.au/?p=progcomp2013.git There is also a sample agent that doesn't just make random moves. Remember to join #progcomp if you are interested!
