http://lost-in-code.blogspot.com/2011/01/installing-io-on-my-mac.html

Montag, 17. Januar 2011. Installing Io on my Mac. Currently I'm reading Seven Languages in Seven Weeks. By Bruce Tate. The frist new language to learn is Io. A prototype based language. So I installed it on my Mac running Snow Leopard. These instructions are not by an expert, but just describes the way it worked for me. If you have any suggestions or improvements feel free to add a comment. The easiest way to install Io is by using Homebrew. If you want the lastest version from github. First we need CMake.

Donnerstag, 18. November 2010. Combat Damage in Season 2. The combat damage in ZeroX. Has been quite high. Until now the combat damage has been divided inversely proportional to the population size, both agents suffered the same. As in season 1 both adversary were classified excat the same, therefore they suffered the same damage. The bigger one could never take advantage of his population superiority. This will now be considered. Diesen Post per E-Mail versenden. Mittwoch, 10. November 2010. Although th...

Dienstag, 6. September 2011. Winner of 2nd Season Greenfields. The winner of the 1st Zero X. Season is also the winner of 2nd season. In the 2nd season disengage. Was introduced and the combat damage. Was changed in the favor of the attacker and therefore rewarded a more aggressive behaviour. But little has changed here as a look at the ranking list. The usual suspects at the top, let's have a look at the agents that have won more than one tournament:. And introduce them step by step.

lost in code: YAML in Ruby 1.9

http://lost-in-code.blogspot.com/2011/10/yaml-in-ruby-19.html

Montag, 31. Oktober 2011. YAML in Ruby 1.9. The other day I downloaded the production database from Zero-X. To my local machine to run some tests. Everything looked fine until I got to the game reports page, which looked wired, especially the agent views. It seemed that every empty field was occupied by an agent "00". After digging deeper I identified the error in wrong loaded YAML records. Instead of loading a nil. I got Syck: PrivateType. A null. Which were loaded differently. Sudo port install libyaml...

Donnerstag, 26. August 2010. The End of Season 1. Ended actually with two winners, Bulldog and Rincewind. Both made 6.8 points, Bulldog is only ranked first, because he has a better overall ranking. After total 46 games, the ranking list can grouped in three parts:. The second group are agents that survive sometimes, they have an average of 3 to 4 points. And then there's the last group that have less than 3 points, meaning they don't survive very often. After 10 tournaments we make a break and end the f...

http://lost-in-code.blogspot.com/2011/10/announcing-level-clone-war.html

Samstag, 1. Oktober 2011. Announcing Level Clone War. The second level for the programming game Zero-X. Is ready. I'm proud to announce the 2nd level Clone War. The first level Greenfields. Introduced basic sensors and actions and showed how to control a single population. With Clone War these sensors and actions will be extended. But we also have a new action, now it is possible to split. It takes a field or position as parameter for the new population. For more details see the documentation.
