Sounds great :)
There are lots of "robot battle" games out there, like
http://realtimebattle.sourceforge.net/
http://robocode.sourceforge.net
but none in Haskell, of course. I think there's a classic predecessor to
those but I don't know exactly.
I suspect they are probably viewed as 'descendants' in a weak sense from
Core War, which in turn was inspired by Darwin. However these two, since
the act more 'directly' in the memory space of a virtual CPU are quite
different in character.
I can't substantiate that suspicion with any evidence, though.
Either way it would be a fun thing for someone to write for haskell.
