I know alot of you guys are focusing on Chibots right now but... So I actually felt like building last night and was thinking of tic-tac-toe. We had talked about awarding a time bonus to robots who could clear the board of their blocks after a game. (...) (19 years ago, 3-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| | tic-tac-toe - Clearing the board
|

Ok, let me pose this question. In our Tic-Tac-Toe game, Should we offer a time bonus (subtract some time) for a robot that can clear the board after the game is over? Assuming robots will play two games against each other robot, that means each (...) (19 years ago, 4-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) This is kind of tough. My initial thought was to "tip the scale" towards a robot that can not only play, but also clear the board. However, I doubt anyone will be able to build a robot, then go back and add-on the "Clear-the-board" feature. It (...) (19 years ago, 4-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

For now, I think I'm falling onto the side of "no bonus". Mostly, I want this to be a tic-tac-toe challenge. I'm assuming that if we get a dozen entries for example, then there will be a broad enough range of skill levels that the bonus won't really (...) (19 years ago, 4-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
