I'm holding a programming competition over on another forum. The language being used is flash's native language, Actionscript (which is a close variant of C with a few tools to help work with a 2D graphical environment)
Anyways, you have to program bots that move around and attempt to kill each other. Pretty simple. Here's the thread that explains it all and heres the battle thread from the last competition.
Just if anyone's interested. Good at programming? Here you can prove it.
I'm interested in this
never done anything in flash before, though
What do you use to author flash files?
You use flash =OQuote:

Programming contests are fun. At the end, you're like, "Now where did those 5 hours go? Damn I'm hungry!"
Ah... reminds me of learning assembler so I could get into Core Wars... and the dawn of destructive programming.
I've read quite a bit of your thread, and it does sound interesting, but I'm not into programming AS/Flash at all. Either way, do let us know how things work out and stuff :D And perhaps clips of the bots fighting.
