Have you used Corewars (Scientific American thread) or
anything like it in your classes?  That is, a competition
among the students where their programs compete one-on-one.

Perhaps you've seen the MIT (CE 280?) engineering design
competitions shown on PBS the past few years.  Corewars
could be used similarly.

Maybe you know of or have used alternatives.

Thanks,

Dick
