dmangame is a game about writing AI for a simple strategy game.

an example game: http://okayzed.github.com/dmangame/circleblaster_vs_expand.html

there are some example / more advanced AI in the dmanai repository
(http://github.com/okayzed/dmanai). you can fork the repository and
put your AI on the ladder - it'll get ranked and compete in regularly
scheduled matches on http://dmangame-app.appspot.com.

i'm looking for feedback, ideas and criticisms on the mechanics &
gameplay; keeping in mind that the overall design goal is to keep the
game simple.

This is really cool. I haven't looked at the source code yet...

There was another game very similar to this - much more basic though
and when I saw it back then I wanted to do something similar!

Nice job!

cheers

Looks fun! I play a bit of Core War, so this should pose a similar but
new challenge to my brain. Thank you for your work and for sharing.

[okay zed]

could be the ACM queue challenge and google's ai challenge, they've
had games in the past with somewhat similar mechanics
