Tournament Details: |
On Fri Dec 5 in lecture we'll run a Husky tournament. Here are its rules; email Marty if you have any questions about the tournament.
-
At approximately 11:59pm on Thu Dec 4, we'll grab all Husky files from the HW9 turnin page (not from the Facebook app) and use these as the set of Huskies for the competition.
-
A "battle" is defined as the following: We run CritterMain with a standard 60x50 world, using 25 of each kind of animal. The animals present are Bears, Lions, Tigers, Stones, and two students' Huskies. We start the simulator and let it run until either one student's Huskies are completely eliminated or until roughly 1000 moves have passed. At this point whichever student's Husky species has the more points wins the battle.
-
Think of the Husky tournament like one of the major pro sports. We will run a "regular season" in which every student's Husky species will play many battles against randomly chosen opponent Huskies. We run a season of many games (at least 64 for each student), then we grab the top 16 Huskies that have the best win/loss records. They advance to the "playoffs", which is what will take place in lecture on Friday.
-
The playoffs consists of a 16-Husky bracket similar to part of an NCAA basketball tournament bracket. #1 battles #16, #2 battles #15, and so on. Winners advance and losers are eliminated. Eventually one Husky is crowned the champion.
