Shall We Play a Game? A computer only DEFCON tournament!

Posted Jun 22 2009, 02:02 PM

ROCHESTER, New York -- June 22, 2009 -- The echoing robotic voice of Joshua from the 1983 classic "War Games" asking the simple question "Shall we play a game?" might now be a reality. Not in the idea that a robot controlling nuclear weapons might destroy our world, as that's likely been true for quite some time. In the upcoming  IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Games  you might not be sure if it's a person or a computer attempting to wipe your population off the thermonuclear battlefield.

IEEE's Symposium has created an interesting competition for this year, and we are proud to say that they will be basing it around Ambrosia's own DEFCON.

The idea is simple, contestants program an AI to play DEFCON and then pitch their bot against enemy bots in a series of one-on-one thermonuclear chess games. The winner is the programmer whose bot successfully annihilates its opponents and racks up the highest death count. IEEE is offering a $500 prize to the deadliest DEFCON AI bot competition winner.  Secondly, part of the symposium is a sort of “Turing Test” challenge, in which contestants then demonstrate their programmed AI against non-computer foes. The objective is to try to trick a panel of human judges into thinking the AI is a human player.

The symposium will be held Sept 7-10 in at Politecnico Di Milano, Milano, Italy.

Macworld 2009 Wrap-up & Pictures

Posted Jan 18 2009, 12:09 PM

It has been over a week since the final day of the 2009 San Francisco Macworld Expo, where Ambrosia and her crew demoed our latest and greatest. We've spent the last week recovering, answering the emails and messages that piled up during our absence (thank you for your patience, emailers and message-leavers!), and trying to remember why we choose to spend our winters in Rochester, when California's "60 and sunny" January time is oh-so lovely.  

As we continue to answer all the emails (and shovel snow), we thought it would be nice to share our experience at the 25th Macworld Expo, which sadly marks Apple's final appearance at this unique community event.  

The booth this year was an eye catching design, aimed at featuring five products on its four sides, and creating an open, friendly place in the center for longer conversations or sales. Our artist Marcus really outdid himself with the open design and engaging visuals.  From the time the doors opened the first day till the moment the lights went off on Friday, everyone of the crew was lost in a sea of friendly folks asking questions and wanting to see all of our current (and upcoming) products.  Your hosts were David, Dominic, Evan, Marcus, John, Thomas, and Kat all wearing our WireTap Anywhere shirts, demonstrating the products, and handing out some very cool swag.
