Max and I took part in Montreal Ruby Hacknight (for the month of September) hosted by HardCoder Labs. The objective of the hacknight was to develop an AI for a multiplayer online Risk-like (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_(game)). In the end, all the AIs competed against each other, and our AI (called 'shivanmax' in an inspired burst of creativity) did well! We came third out of a total of 17 participants, many of whom were computer science graduates. We're planning to build on the AI.
