Microsoft game is a code-eating battle | |

Coders around the world will be flexing their digits over the coming weeks in an effort to write software whose sole purpose is to propagate across the Internet and battle similar pieces of code to the death. Terrarium is not a virus, says Microsoft, which created the game to show what can be achieved in peer-to-peer applications -- particularly those using the company's .Net Framework -- but it does share some similarities with the way viruses work. For instance, the object is to propagate as many pieces of code -- or creatures -- as possible in the three weeks that the competition will last for. | ||

I'm not sure if anybody in here realizes this, but this game is the coolest thing since sliced bread.
Not only does it demo a lot of nifty .NET stuff, but it is a BLAST to implement evolutionary stable strategies and watch your little critter rule the planet! :-) |
