This is a big list of programming related games like Core War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Wars).

I'd love for us to invent one here at DC.

@mouser - you want to create a new battlefield/game or a corewars robot?

[mouser]

battlefield game of course, where people can have code-driven entities compete.

[Rover]

That's what I thought, but I wanted to be clear....

OK so we need a strategy session.  Things to consider:

Do we want to make it fair as in rock/paper/scissors - each item has a 1/3 chance to win, 1/3 chance to lose and 1/3 chance to null effect.

Is is turn based or paralell?

Is it a virus type/takeover game or battle-bots type - kill or be killed?

I'm sure there is something I'm missing...

[mouser]

i have an idea.. i'm trying to work out some game rules and stuff..
when i make some progress maybe we can meet in irc channel and brainstorm it.
