I don’t think the time limit has such a big role to play for this year’s challenge. With that being said though, it has hard to give a fair time limit for each language individually. We do attempt to level the playing field a bit with the calibration bots however, but going into the level of detail where we give individual time limits would not be feasible unfortunately.
That can’t be good for the ego ill have to switch back to JAVA asap! thing is i was having a hard time with maven… i keep getting a dependency error so i decided to translate my code to Python
Even though log files aren’t available, could we get some aggregated metrics from the tournament, like the average number of shots fired per game, average number of rounds, etc?
Unfortunately we did not save and of the additional information so that we will not be able to give you an aggregated summary for the tournament. We are looking at adding this and some additional features for the next tournament however.
