There was a lot of stuff about computer RoShamBo competitions, but they seemed rather, umm, biased? They make odd requirements that your program must be written in a certain language and you must have a function return this or that. I wonder if these people have never heard of text pipes, which would mean anyone could write their program in any language they chose, independent of operating system or anything else. I guess that would require more work from the organizers to write a new match running program. It sounds fun and interesting, but I wouldn't enter that mess of a competition with those kind of requirements. They made things way more complicated for the participants than it needed to be.
