Ok! After I’m done finals in a week and a half I’ll organize things and start a competition. It would be really handy if you guys threw out some ideas for competitions that you would like to take part in. Some ideas I’ve come up with (aside from what I already said in my first post) are:
- Create a program to solve a maze (either with complete or incomplete knowledge of the entire maze?)
- Program a line-following robot
- Chess / Checkers / Reversi / Four-In-A-Row / Tic-Tac-Toe AI
- Parsing calculation input (ie: 5*(3-4) = -5)
- Creating “virsuses” in a virtual machine that compete to hog the entire machine’s resources
- Physics simulations (predict location of bouncing ball at certain time, for example?)
- Solving inverse of matrices
[*] Blackjack / Poker / Cribbage / Hearts playing bot
Let me know what you guys want!
