RE: Re: Robocode competition at work

Changing the settings of the battles make it a bit harder to simply copy-and-paste code from other robots. Since many bots have constants like battlefield size and number of opponents hardcoded. But not all of them, and it is still possible to adapt the code inside the 4hs.

Maybe enforce a codesize limit? 4hrs is not much time to write a decent MegaBot anyway. The amount of bots to copy-and-paste code from drastically diminishes with a limited codesize. Wave Surfing doesn't fit in the smaller codesize categories. And if any bot becomes too similar with LittleBlackBook or Caligula, well...

Thanks! This is a great idea that I didn't think of myself :)

I've thought of this. I'm not sure what the best way of enforcing this is though. There will be wireless internet in the room we'll be in. And everyone has smartphones they can teather to wirelessly... Any ideas here?



Any other ideas anyone?
