An excellent idea from the Imagine Cup Team:

Presentation of the History of the Imagine Cup.

You can see photos and videos showing you how exciting this event is...

(I was there at the begining in Barcelona ;-)))

Download the SDK RC2

I have upload the latest build of the SDK.

You can find in it a new section called Pro. So now, there is 3 categories:

• Beginners
• Pros
• Developers

Pros is like Beginners: in a "simple" (but not so simple ;-)) interface, you can create a powerfull strategy. In this category, you have access to all kind of Nanobots (including Wall and IPCreator), all their methods (like OpenIP, ForceAutoDestruction, etc.). Try it (even if you are a developer) because you can lean a lot with it.

In Pros and Developers  categories, you can now choose the AI for Pierre.

In Developers category, you have now access to the old CSAutomate: it's very usefull if you want to test a lot of strategy during the night:

1. Prepare your game: select a strategy, a mission (and evantually a second player and Pierre AI),
2. At it to the Automate section.
3. Do it again with another strategy or the same on another mission or the same,
4. And so on.
5. When you have prepared all your games, clic on Start button in Automate section.

It will launch all the game, one by one, in a console application, and save the Replays and the Results. You can go to sleep (or eat) when games are playing. You don't see anything on the screen but the game are really running.

To look at the Results, go in Replays menu (Main -> Replays) and clic on the Result you're interested. You'll see all the statistics like your score, details about nanobots remaining at the end of the game, etc.

I hope you'll enjoy this RC2 and please, give me your feedbacks.
