That won't be for a while yet, but There was a website of someone else doing this. I couldn't find it just now. I know it was linked off of randy saints page. > Ah, I've just noticed a reference to JavaRARS...

It started off as a direct port of .65 but sort of got led astray. Each driver was made a true object. I tried to 'improve thngs'. I'm trying to add pit stops. The graphics are somewhat different. Unfortunately, it is very slow with the graphics turned on. I think the main benefit of is that anyone can see it from a web site. > Um, do many people still compete?

Well, we went to a different coordinator and then back again. Right now there is just an unlimited division with 2 skill levels. > > I can't think of much else to ask, really.

If you don't mind, > I've got a few questions. :-) Ok, you might be interested in looking at what they've done at http://www.css.tayloru.edu/~snelson/rars/index.html They did a 'machine learning' project for RARS. Although they didn't use any GAs it could be worth a look. > I assume that RARS2 still isn't out yet? Is anyone still developing > RARS2 at all? Or even RARS 1 for that matter? RARS2 is still just a collection of ideas. There hasn't been any major development of entirely new code; I think Ralph's work on javarars is the only project that actually will produce new code based on some of the ideas from RARS2 (and some of Ralph's own ideas too). > Um, do many people still compete? [snip] No. I'll send in a bot for the next race, with the sole purpose of increasing the amount of traffic for the others. Welcome back!
