Hi Everyone,

Please direct your questions about the game to the official Entelect Challenge Forum or to the challenge email address [email protected] as we will be monitoring those forums more often than the mybroadband ones.

You can also find more in depth instructions for the game at the github page

Sounds exciting! I'll have a look at it this weekend and start working on my bot then. After last year's competition, I got a hold of the winning bot's code and challenged it. Lost every time. I probably won't go far or win again, but will have fun attempting another one

Did Pierre open source his code?

I must have been drunk or something when I posted. I meant, we wrote code and had Entelect battle the winning bot on our behalf.

would be cool if they had a way we could 'test' or see how bad we are vs each other. Do they provide a way to see how bad or good your stuff is ??

You can use the reference bot to play against your own. That's all I managed to find out so far, from their GitHub page.

That would be cool. Was trying to figure out how to test my [future] code a short while back.

I don't have much hope of winning, but I want to at least try do it
