Next Weekly Challenge?

By , About.com GuideDecember 14, 2009

Follow me on:

Not many people replied to the #2 Ongoing Programming Challenge so I'm looking for ideas for something to replace it. Also Weekly Challenge sounds better than Ongoing Challenge I think!

I'd love to do a modern C-Bots but that may still be a bit too much. One board game which I think could work well is the classic game Acquire, an old favorite of mine for 3-6 players. It has very easy rules but is not that easy to play well. Each week the top 6 bots would play in one game the next six in another and move up a league table according to money earned. Comments?

Seems interesting, but you will need to make the rules clear because I still don’t fully “get” the rules :-D
