Battlecode 2016
- aflinik 11y agoWhy Java only?
- dvorak42 11y agoSince computation is measured by bytecode cost of instructions, supporting other languages would require a great deal of effort to do similar bytecode counting and to make sure that the counting across languages is fair and balanced. They've considered doing other forms of computation measurement, but none of the alternatives are very good or deterministic (time, lower-level instruction counting, etc).
- aleksis 11y agoAlso you can use Scala.
- WeaselNo7 11y agoAre there any ongoing tournaments for this or similar? I'd love to get involved, but I feel like I wouldn't get the most benefit from this by starting from scratch so late in the game.
- axcqwerty 11y agoFor Battlecode it's not too late to start. Plenty of people are still getting started. The competition lasts until January 30th and it's only the 4th day.
