C coding challenge

Join our C coding challenge at CellHack.net. Think outside the box and pit your algorithms against each other and other players. In CellHack you write code to control the behavior of a colony of single cell organisms. The cells are not very complex - they can sense what is right next to them, they can move, they can rest, they can divide, and they can attack a neighboring cell, they also have some limited memory. Your job is to write a program that will be executed once per turn per cell that you control. Your cells will then battle in a 1 vs 3 arena until either only one colony survives or the time runs out. Can you program a solution that will defeat all others?

The final competition will be held live at JailBreak Brewing (Laurel, MD) May 12th starting at 5pm EDT, with results posted on the internet for those unable to attend in person.

Travis - not sure I agree - it would not be possible using flip flops with hardwired memory. You would need an application S/W to control/enable the flip flops. To high level in my opinion. What you would need is a complex algorithm with lines of Code that can model the behavior of colony of cell organisms. So, before you take on this challenge - suggest you take a course in Microbiology and C++ to understand the behavior of single cell organisms before you start developing your algorithm. (HA!!) . It's Good to see you're still out in the world running a muck.

You should make people do this with only primitive gates and a handful of flip-flops. It would be way more interesting than rehashing this in C.
