- 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. 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](https://drive.google.com/file/d/10hOyqaZ1gUXCMzwThbq1fdWS5Pupx6k5/view?usp=sharing).
- # Questions
- * Any other information I should be giving each bot?
- * Anything unclear about the rules?
- * Is this game actually interesting to play?
