If you get snowed in this week-end, here's a fun way to pass the time: enter the Google AI challenge!
Organized by the University of Waterloo (Canada) and sponsored by Google, this challenge lets you compete in a game of Tron against other people's algorithms from a wide selection of programming languages.
Sadly, Perl is not widely represented and the highest Perl score is at the 176th rank as of this Friday night.
The contest ends on the 26th of this month. Who will care to test their Perl skills?
I care both at testing my perl skills as well as trying have a perl program to beat the current high score.
