The activity was captured by the good folk of Skills Matter. It is worth noting the name of the winning "tank" exemplified it's strategy. It can be characterized by a quote from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: run away, run away. Whilst there, I didn't get around to writing a tank strategy, I spent too long looking at, and analysing, Kingsley's little framework – oh and chatting with Laeeth about D, Go, computational finance, etc. Kingsley's code is (mostly) great; hopefully I and others can help evolve this via pull requests, to be something we can put before CAS and others for inclusion in Key Stage 3 and 4 educational materials. <Long explanation of new UK computing education system elided.> This would be a great way of getting young people interested in native code after Scratch and Python. D and Java would be a good combination. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
