Rock, Paper, Azure

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.
