Congratulations to all winners :)

A.I.ttakatta is a round-based artificial intelligence game.

Each player must write a JavaScript program that will instruct the fleet of unmanned spacecraft to perform certain actions in a particular round. The ultimate goal in a match is annihilation of the opponent's fleet.

Here is an example program:

var ours = universe.getPlanets().filter(function(p){
	return p.getOwner() === universe.getPlayerId();
});

var theirs = universe.getPlanets().filter(function(p){
	return p.getOwner() !== universe.getPlayerId();
});

ours.forEach(function(x){
	theirs.forEach(function(y){
		x.send(20, y);
	});
});

This program will be executed at the start of every round. If the program does not return within the time limit, the program will lose its turn that round.

IMPORTANT: there is no particular advantage in score if you submit early or late. This is because of how scoring is done--the score will eventually become more accurate as more matches are played. To allow an accurate representation of relative strength, submission will close on Friday, 27 September and 2 whole days of matches will be carried out before the ranking is finalized.

UPDATE (23 Sep): timeout occurs after 120 rounds (reduced from 500). Ties are not tie broken. Ties benefit lower elo player and harms high elo player.
