Great, I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes the idea! Interoperability to other languages is definitely on my list for the future, and a kind of ladder-server, too, where you submit your tribe and it enters into a perpetual tournament and gets ranked.

I just noticed that your git repo hasn't been updated since late 2009–are their updates to this project that just haven't been posted yet? Perrrrhaps with additional comments that might make it easier if one wanted to contribute? > ladder-server, too, where you submit your tribe and it > enters into a perpetual tournament and gets ranked That would be too cool. I'd love to see this happen. I wonder what kind of market there is for something like this. EDIT: I'm going to be looking through the code more today, though right now I am going through finals at college. I don't want to promise anything, but this is something I could see myself contributing to, if you'd want (though now might not be the time so early in the process). Shoot me an email (in profile), if you'd like to be in touch.

  The code I have in github is pretty much identical to what I describe in the article. Documentation is nonexistent, sorry for that. That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw that this hit the front page, should have thought of that earlier. I'll go through and comment it though, this resonance has given me a big boost in motivation.

Why stop at a ladder-based tournament system? It would be awesome if we could have all submissions put into a persistant world and go on until they all die out. Kind of like a mmorpg for AI robots.

  This is what I thought the article was when reading the title. It totally should be; how hard could it be to hack something together and run it on appengine?

I also think this project is really interesting (which is why I'm following it and some of the forks). May I recommend Microsoft's TrueSkill algorithm for ranking genomes? There's C#[1] and Java[2] implementations available. Full disclosure, I have no association with Microsoft Research, but I am the author of JSkills.

  EDIT (because for some reason my only option is reply): The other cool thing about TrueSkill is that it can handle multiple players on multiple teams. So, if anyone decides to add the capability for 1v1v1, 1v2, 1v1v2, etc, TrueSkill is ready.
