IRC Mini Tournament #02 - Sunday 09 March 2003
This week, Phil Thorne organises the Mini Tournament, with just 30 minutes
available to write a tiny hill warrior. The compiled Redcode is not allowed
to contain the numbers -1 or 1. Warriors battle round robin for 250 rounds.
All in, 6 players enter a total of 10 warriors and Roy van Rijn emerges the
clear winner, taking the top two positions. If either your browser or yourself
doesn't like tables, the results are also available in
results.txt. To download all of the compo warriors in one go, just

* Roy points at Metcalf
[pkhuong] hehe :)
[pkhuong] which one did you steal?
[Mizcu] *First* ever warrior i have done with tiny settings, i will probably
be last. Well, taught me some stress handling.
[Roy] the stone/imp...
[Roy] I'm not proud but I want to win ;-)
* pkhuong wanted to submit a bomb dodger :) it didn't look cool enough
[adamow] I don't want to win. I want to HAVE FUN!!!
* metcalf isn't even sure if his warrior works properly
* Roy thinks winning IS fun!
[adamow] PLAYING is fun!
[metcalf] PLAYING is stressful!
[Roy] I do that too...
[adamow] Winning is SATISFYING
[Roy] Thats why I hope to do both :p
[metcalf] :-)
[metcalf] Next time, I will have a name chosen before the tournament, I don't
like picking one in a hurry!
[adamow] I see it's not only me who has keyboar-problem ;]
[Philb] I'm off #corewars [but still on IRC] - focus-grabbing IRC problems
* metcalf is beginning to recover.
[metcalf] I was starting to panic when my first warrior wouldn't work and it
was 9:20 ;-)
[adamow] My eyes need some rest
[adamow] See you!
[Roy] bye!
[adamow] Oh, I hope someone will publish the results :]]]
