Point Game KOTH
It's about time we have something other than code golf! KOTH time!
A small simple game to get things started.
Rules/Procedure
Everyone starts each bracket with 100 in-game points. In each round of the bracket, you play against an opponent. The only information you are given is your opponent's ID number and how many in-game points they have. (And all other information you have stored up to that point.) You and your opponent each spend a number of in-game points - higher number wins, and moves on in the bracket. In case of a tie, a random bot moves on. You gain a number of scoring points for each win inversely proportional to the number of people left in the bracket.
100,000 (maybe 1 million) brackets will be played - the bot with the highest amount of scoring points wins.
The game is written in Java. You can find the engine, a bot template, and a sample bot here.
