Very neat stuff. Yep, those flips are interesting. Was the winning side
decided by you? Or did that just come about at random?

At random. Though it is suspicious that all the red ships died *so fast*.
That last one had read his evasive maneuvers manual well, however.

GO RED!!

Always root for the underdog.  Unless its AMD vs Intel.  GO INTEL.  But I'm
biased cause my Dad works at Intel.

Slimy little sucker that last one. Pity, though, he was quite skilled.
Reminded me of what I had to do on the last level of Descent Freespace
:)

Nice space fight!
I had something like this in mind for a while but didn't get to do it yet.
I would like to write an AI so we can let them fight against each other.
Could you please mail me some information or the relevant piece of the
source?

Why do the greens win, when the ending clear demonstrates none of them can
shoot for toffee

Heh, red, for some reason, has yet to win a battle. =)

The AI is in C++. It would probably be a lot harder to fight 2 AIs against
each other than it sounds. =) The real problem is that there's nothing to
keep the code writer from "cheating" (making their ships aware of lasers
coming from behind, etc).

Good question =) Lots of them even die by crashing into each other, even
*after* red has been defeated.

I wont cheat ;-)
Writing an interface for AI's that automatically writes POV output is
probably not a bad Idea, would you do that or have I to do it myself :-)
That would also make it much harder to cheat because the interface controlls
the information the AI gets.
