Unfortunately due budget constraints we can't allow unlimited access to test game servers. Do you have an estimate on how many rounds would you need to evolve the algorithm enough?

The Google AI challenges allowed one to run a game server locally so testing was only limited by one's own resources. (A bot made using genetic programming did pretty well: http://planetwars.aichallenge.org/profile.php?user_id=4038)

No idea. I have no idea how complex the simulation is going to be. How about a simple version that can be run locally?

I would image the complexity being really high because the game is about racing against other AIs. What do you think?

And I'm afraid local versions are out because:

1. players would reverse engineer the server's simulation code

2. we don't want to give access to other team's bots
