I seem to miss such contests most of the time and only hear about them when they ended. I would love to attend to some, just for the fun (because I don't know if I would have any chance to actually win). Where would be a good source for such competitions? Another fun competition I read about was the Super Mario AI competition in 2009 where the winner has succeeded with an A* algorithm which he presented in a nice video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlkMs4ZHHr8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlkMs4ZHHr8 The 2010 Mario AI championship also seems to be over already. Another fun competition I have heard about is the International Obfuscated C Code Contest. However, while reading this is very interesting and quite fun, I am not sure if I would have fun to do this myself. (Somehow I am more focused on the output/result of the code and I like to have clean, elegant and intelligent code, as less obfuscated as possible. :))

There is a gamecomp mailing list that sends out announcements of the LD contests. It is extremely low-traffic, basically only compo announcements (thrice yearly): visit this to subscribe. http://www.gamecompo.com/mailing-list/ http://www.gamecompo.com/mailing-list/ The TIGSource "Competitions" forum is a great resource. http://forums.tigsource.com/ http://forums.tigsource.com/ They host the occasional compo there, and they usually have a thread mentioning most other compos before or as they occur. ps. I participate in some of these under the name 'jovoc'.
