(see the end of this post for remarks I've gotten about the vbox image) So, the next Google AI Challenge seems to be almost ready to get going, albeit six months later than I expected. As blogged about earlier this year I have been worked on the Common Lisp starter bot for the challenge, an...

I have made two screencasts showing the setup and usage of the proxy bot for the upcoming Google AI Challenge. This was at the request of McLeopold. For the Planet Wars challenge I've tried to explain the use case for a proxy bot on the forums. Please read that post if you have no idea what the...

Work is in progress for the next Google AI Challenge and I've been working on the Common Lisp starter package. At the request of the organizers the starter package has been made very basic. A more extensive starter package with proxy-bot functionality is available at:...

There's a new Google AI Challenge: Planet Wars. It seems they're also working on adding support for Common Lisp due to the number of people that used it in the last challenge. Awesome!

They've finally added Common Lisp as a supported language to the Google AI Challenge. (Just before they stopped adding new languages, phew!) There were some issues getting my starter pack to work on their server since they're running an older SBCL (1.0.18 on Debian) and that didn't support the...

For those who've missed it: Google AI Challenge 2010 There's no Common Lisp starter pack (edit: since this is getting misinterpreted I meant a CL starter pack for the AI Challenge) but after a particular nasty adventure spelunking for days through an archaic database at work, fighting through the...
