So I've managed to replace the rather dull player 2 character in spacewar with a rudimentary AI. Well, perhaps to call it AI is to give it too much credit. All it does is scoot around at random until a given criteria is met, then it just points itself at your ship and goes.
That's fine though, it should be perfectly believable for my purposes ... in fact, "player 2" will hopefully turn out to be quite a fearsome opponent :-)
Next on the list is to start writing some dialog ... yes, that's right ... my challenge entry will have the power of the spoken word. Unfortunately, with the budget being in the null range (yes, that's not even zero), voice acting will be provided courtesy of yours truly. Unless of course I find that I totally suck, at which point I'll have to see if I can coerce someone else to do it.
