Save The Last Bullet For Yourself
Suddenly zombies appear! OH NOES!
In this king-of-the-hill challenge, you must create a bot to survive the zombie apocalypse. Or at least, hold out for as long as possible.
At the start of the game, 50 competitors will be placed randomly in a large toroidal pl...
@Doorknob simple, make your name from the other Poker card Unicode icons, and no one will think the diamond is from being a mod :P
you'll have more trouble with removing the blue from your name in chat ^^
@Rainbolt Not quite ^^... there's not really an equivalent vowel sound in English... I'll let you know if I come up with something (or find a video)... in the meantime, why don't you use my first name? :P
@Rainbolt also, I'm pretty sure my Rebel was before Trimsty's
I feel like I have a cool idea for a king-of-the-hill challenge but I seriously lack the skill to host such a challenge, what should I do?
I could of course post it to the sandbox as suggested here, but what should I expect then? For someone to get interested in the challenge and take over by ac...
I just posted the above meta question, the challenge I have in mind is a king of the hill challenge about dog fighting planes in a discrete 3D space. I have a lot of the specifics of the rules worked out myself and would love to share them, but if someone were to take it upon themselves to make this challenge happen, you can of course decide how to change things when it comes to it.

Important note
This is a king-of-the-hill challenge and I don't possess the required knowledge or skill to run this challenge; I'm posting this draft here essentially to find someone to either very intensively help me or rather take this challenge off my hands and make it happen (with ...
@ProgramFOX I believe he mixed it up with "up" (possibly "top"?)
@overactor there are 26 directions though instead of 24 ;)
you should also specify that "diagonally touching" (with reference to the cubes) doesn't include diagonally through the cube, because the faces are actually all touching diagonally
I changed the controller so that it just continues when an exception is thrown. It logs the name of the class, the round it failed on, and why it failed (sort of). Then it just keeps going
That way, I can quickly weed out those who throw exceptions in round 900+
So now I'll just rerun it with three less participants :)
@overactor It didn't make it in yet. But you and someone else have submitted entries already so there is no doubt that I'll be running trials again. Now that I have it mostly automated, I think I can just run trials every day. It takes about 6-7 hours to run a single test.
Shower, Food, MTG! (I know all of you are totally interested in how my day is going)
@MartinBüttner I don't think I spent more on M:tG than most people spend on going to the cinema. And I have the theoretical possibility of selling my cards to get some of the money back. It's not free, but it doesn't have to be expensive.
@PeterTaylor Yeah that's true you do gain some value from it that you might sell later. But if you keep playing actively then you don't tend to do that.
meh I hate that I have to click "Done" when reviewing "First Posts" even though I have already taken some action... otherwise it's not actually counted, but I still can't open it again in the review queue :-/
