My favorites were also pacman and bomberman and then especially tron. I think all the ones that had a significant planning/strategy component.

Unfortunately I did not compete in the bomberman one (the only one I missed since the start), but yeah pacman was quite fun. I did also enjoy the battleships one. I might not have been so much pure strategy, and had an element of luck in, but it had something different. Some psychological aspect of predicting where the majority of players would place their ships, and “reading the meta”. I found that quite interesting as well.
As for format… The battleships was by far the best. The evolving rules and golden ticket system was awesome. I hope they keep it similar this year (and maybe give a golden ticket to the first person who guessed the theme :P).
Either way I’m really looking forward to it taking up all my spare thinking time, and running game simulations during the night to analyse the results in the morning

Ah, yes. Bomberman and pacman were the most fun. And the format of last year was also great.
Some things I hope for this year: GOOEY?sp challenge, hackathons and maybe not a file based exchange of data(rather rest service or stdin/stdout). One can only hope.

Whoohoo. Golden Ticket (stamp) for Kortgat
The download link for the starter pack on the challenge site doesn’t work.
You can got to https://github.com/EntelectChallenge/2018-TowerDefence/releases to get it.
The challenge website looks amazing! Tower Defense is a great idea for a challenge.

Hahahaha, Nice, I think they’ll rather give me a Golden Star on my T-Shirt if I make it to comic-con this year :D.
But I still need to prove worthy of the challenge.
My weekend just got ruined as I will be playing tower defense…

ruined? or better?
Yeah I’m also keen to start ASAP.
Look slike a challenge that could indeed have many different winning strategies, and with more rules to come it will be great I’m sure
Definitely Better!!
On the website is this sentence correct?
Energy Building:
A utility building that provides {Energy generated per turn} extra energy per turn. These buildings have lower health and can don’t offer much in terms of defence.
Hi Kortgat,
This will probably update, maybe follow this post to stay updated on that front
I actually meant the “can don’t” part unless my English grammar is failing me
Oh I see that now, I will fix it quickly
