Asteroids playing contest

by anton@[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Anton Ertl) Apr 16, 2008 at 10:47 AM

On pages 176-179 of c't 9/2008 there is a description of how the
Asteroids Arcade game (from 1979) works, and a contest for writing a
program to play the game.  For this they have adapted MAME to take its
input and produce its output on UDP ports.  The output is in the form
of data for the vector graphics hardware (at most 1KB per frame).

This might be an interesting task for competetition-loving Forth
programmers.  The contest runs until June 30.  The winner of the
competition wins some hardware or (his choice) EUR 3000, and there are
prizes for the top 25 entries.
