I have been thinking lately in terms of building a "turn based" server than logs in, grabs a set of positions to process, your program processes them off-line, you log back in and report your moves.
This sounds real simple, but if you think about the problems involved you realize there are some issues with scheduling that have to be solved. But I think you don't need a time limit - all games are pending and if a program retires there is no foul. (However, for scheduling purposes I think you have to "void" a game after some period of time - 1 to 4 weeks perhaps.) But beyond this, it's a very simple thing. A client could be provided that handles all the details in a very convenient and simple way. - Don On Tue, 2007-01-30 at 10:52 -0800, David Doshay wrote: > It seems it would not be that hard to set up cgos-like environments > where participants offer up more than one version of their program: > some play quickly, and some are allowed to take longer.
