I find out that
I was a donkie
I was hooked up
Torn
Screwed up
And Haskel was there at that time
He got anrgy, pity
For my stupidity
All for best
Simulation for good alone



KKKKKKIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIEEEE

Sweet, something to keep my brain busy for the next couple of weeks.

Bonne Chance!

It's definitely *not* exactly a programming challenge, but algorithm
challenge.

A programming (only) challenge should only require the players to write
codes to implement an algorithm.

This one requires both algorithm design & programming.

Hello, this is Jeff Cameron, the organizer of the Google AI Challenge.
I'm glad to see all this interest in our humble little contest. I wish
you all the best of luck, and encourage everyone to try their hand at
writing an AI for Tron! www.ai-contest.com

Eh? Just about every interesting programming challenge is mostly about
algorithm selection. Try some Project Euler for example.

Everyone back then has abused the "programming" word to meant doing
everything (algorithms (system analysis & design), data structures,
coding, testing, documentation, auditing, ....) at cheap
salaries+benefits and tight schedules!

Someone please dumb the Tron ROM from the MAME32 project and use it as
baseline answer.
