Well I entered the Rock, Paper, Azure contest and for the most part, got my butt kicked. Mostly because I had little time to invest. It was an uncommon (for me) 60-hour work week proceeding Convergence 2011 and I didn’t have too much time to invest in my little game-playing bot.
Here are my statistics:

Anyway, I got a really cool T-shirt in the mail today:
It was a fun little project. I hope that Microsoft does something like this again.
I also hope that after the contest, the winners of the various rounds share their bot source. That would be really cool to review.
Even though I had a week of long days, it was actually rather fun to “relax†and write code that did something totally unrelated to my current job.
