The AI could be any type of AI, whether it was melee AI, boss AI, mini-game AI and etc etc.

Pardon for the double post, but it was to separate the official post and other comment.

 

[FrIkY]

I like the idea. ^^

 

[Gilles]

Not a bad idea.

If it's any type of AI, how can you compare between them? Should be like the one held at WC3C, where the AIs have to fight each other

 

[bounty hunter2]

Sounds interesting.

 

[Septimus]

The comparison was judge mainly on the challenge.

That's mean the judge would try to play against the AI. See how difficulty it was to against the AI, how the AI react, would the AI capable to act just like a human does or not and etc etc.

And how do you plan to make a AI Contest #2 if there's absolutely no difference with the 1st because it has no theme or anything in that direction?
An AI contest is not a bad idea, but there should be something to hold onto. Something to guide people towards something specific. For example, you could make them focus on an AI for enemies in a TD that attack the towers they meet while going towards the escape point. Or a good idea (at least that's what I think) would be to give players a map (not an uploaded one, just a terrain with a specific purpose and ofcourse everyone uses the same map that's being decided at the start of the contest) and you've got to make an AI for that.
Also: I could make complete GUI triggered AI's and there are no rules about whether or not that is allowed. If it's not allowed: Say so in the rules. If it is allowed: Still mention it in the rules.

The AI could be make by using AI editor, Gui, JASS or VJASS. That is why the thread have clearly written the judging would based on scripting/triggering as well.

 

[Gilles]

JASS biased bigots are not allowed to judge.

 

[TriggerHappy]

I would join this.

 

[Kwah]

I'd preemptively suggest myself for judging.
