Kevin,
I really didn't plan on having a "contest". Sorry if I misled you. I know
several people have code, and they wanted to know how it stacks up against other
people's code. I'm just trying to set-up a format in which they can do that.
So far, you're the only one who's really expressed interest. I still think
Michael is working on something, but I'm not sure.
To answer your other questions:
I can see a couple reasons for having more than one program (for going first or
second). It's possible you could create a separate set of logic, designed to
play to a draw, if you're going second. If, in fact, you believe your program
could win, even playing second, there wouldn't be a good reason to play for a
draw.
Considering the fact that you can't load two of these programs in a single RCX,
it's reasonable to assume you're using as much of the memory as possible. So,
the difference between the two programs would just be the opening book. I
suspect that's the reason for having two programs.
Next, assuming that you weren't just making stuff up when you said you changed
your -200 to 1, that means you changed your BrickOS code. So, I assume you did
the same as Michael, and re-wrote some of your code in assembler. That sounds
like a good plan.
