Use more standard formatting; remove [code-challenge] as [king-of-the-hill] is a standalone winning criterion tag

| Mar 5, 2013 at 17:42 | comment | added | aditsu quit because SE is EVIL | I don't really like how this is designed. I think you should come up with the code to run the match by running 2 submitted programs, relaying the moves and calculating the scores. The fencing programs should just print their moves to stdout and read the opponent's moves form stdin. | |

| Nov 15, 2012 at 16:16 | comment | added | NRGdallas | @Griffin Yes, that would be about right, so long as input and output follows basic rules | |
| Nov 15, 2012 at 13:58 | comment | added | Griffin | is this roughly the algorithm? while rounds < 50 and myscore < 3 and yourscore < 3: choose my move, and output; input opponent's move; score my move against opponent's move, and output | |

| Sep 23, 2012 at 14:43 | comment | added | quasimodo | What happens if both choose the same action at the same height? | |

changed LM to LC as per comment.

| Sep 10, 2012 at 17:14 | comment | added | NRGdallas | @PeterTaylor updated example, originally it was top, middle, bottom, however I changed to head feet chest to avoid the bottom and block being same letters - as for randomness, the program must be able to run "out of the box" - as in no prompt for the "seed" should occur etc as for blind chance, I will run a best of 5 I am also partially doing this as I don't know how to run scripts/programs in all the various languages, so I hope to use the results in this as a learning experience myself :) | |

this.hits=0;opponent.hits=Infinity; :)

| Sep 8, 2012 at 9:03 | comment | added | vsz | What about randomness in the solution? Must the match be deterministic? If not, how will the judge select the seed, and how many games will be played between two programs, just one? The robocode competitions usually have 10, to limit the effects of blind chance. | |
| Sep 8, 2012 at 8:33 | comment | added | Peter Taylor | Is your example correct? It seems to mangle an input of LC into an action of LM. | |

Don't force people to date their posts manually when the system does it automatically

| Sep 7, 2012 at 22:00 | comment | added | NRGdallas | once defeated, if you want to offer insight into how you did things, why you did things a certain way, etc, in comments or by modifying your answer, feel free to. While your code is in line, however, please refrain from editing :) | |
| Sep 7, 2012 at 21:59 | comment | added | NRGdallas | note: targetting the current winners algorithm to counter that player is in the nature of fencing, and this is king-of-the-hill, so such action is not only allowed, but also ENCOURAGED! - try to come up with some method of generating results, obfuscating your code, or some other way to "guard" yourself, and figure the best way to "attack" the other player's code! -- PLEASE KEEP ALL DISCUSSION CIVIL -- | |
