I don't have the RIS yet, but I wanted to throw out an idea to see how
feasible/difficult a project it would be.  In the early 80s I saw games
like this in a lot of computer magazines:

Two players (bots) would travel around the playfield (sheet of paper),
each leaving a trail of a different color.  One player (bot) would try
to entrap the other by making it run into its trail.

I imagine the bots would each have felt pens that left a trail and would
move in random forward/r/l/backward increments and the loser would be
the first bot to run into a boundary line or the other bots trail.

Would this be possible using RIS?  Any ideas for making this more
intelligent or fun?
