As we had promised below is the source code for each team’s DLL as well as the log files from the tournament and the game exe/source. A word to the wise: we have only tested this program on Windows 2K, we are unsure how it will react in other windows environments.

A copy of the rules can be found here.

Note: All source code links are .zip files.

Logging stuff:

Below are the log files from the games that occurred. To run a logged game: open the file to see if it is the black player’s log file or white player’s log file. This can be seen by the columns of B’s or W’s. If it is the black player’s log, rename it to BlackLogFile.log otherwise name it WhiteLogFile.log. Copy an instance of this dll into two separate folders, with executables in each. Also copy the white log file into one of these folders and the black into the other. Run the program from these folders and simply play an AI vs. AI game. When run… it should be run such that white challenges black.

Matches are shown as white vs black.
