Toroid Wars

A project conceived of with Kent McClymont that ran for two years. It has since been expanded into Games:Exeter.

Toroid Wars is a programming competition, aimed at undergraduates, with the goal of producing an AI player for a provided game. The players would then be run in a tournament with prizes being awarded to the creator of the winning player.

The first year (2009) used a concept similar to 1D risk, more information can be found here: Toroid Wars 2009

The second was a much more complicated setup, with a comparatively simpler API. Pitting tanks against each other on a toroidal maze. Toroid Wars 2010
