files:
index.php if you want a quick star, just browse to this file
README this file
frames.htm left is grid, right is start, blah, blah...
grid.php spits 30*30 grid with images and id's for javascript
start.htm asks you for the names of robot scripts
judge.php main judging script...
random/ example robot playing as white (going down + right)
rnd.red/ same thing, but for red (up + left)
*.gif and some bells and whistles
global.css
how to use:
name your robot scripts capture.php (as the rules say), place
them in DIFERENT dirs (as random/ and rnd.red/ ) and start from
the index.php. enter the names of the robot dirs in the text boxes,
and fire it up.
in the grid, white is represented as W, red as R, flags with
green, sticky traps with yellow and teleports with blue cells.
the button 'next' advances one STEP, not one turn. when you check
checkbox 'auto', and click on 'next', script goes in auto mode,
where it waits 1 sec after page gets loaded, and then advanced
to the next step. (if you want to change this pause, find and
change setTimeout() call in the judge.php function control());
the table below, show names of two robots (dir names), their
location, number of used sticky and teleport traps, death rays,
and enemy locators for each robot script.
last two rows show the move one robot made, and the response that
robot WILL receive on the NEXT turn (maybe i could do this the
opposite way, but this was logical to me)...
clicking on 'start over' below the grid gets you to the point
where you enter the names of robots to star over.
known issues:
browsers: because of javascript, this was an issue, and it took
me some time, but now it is tested (and works) in
IE 6.0, Mozzila 1.0 and Opera 6.0 on Windows 2000.
it should work in NN 6.0+, and could in NN 4.0+
500 limit: there is NO limit to 500 turns, as the rules say,
because i wasn't going to make that kind off robots...
STUCK: the judging script shows as the robot IS called on the
turn when he is STUCK, but that is NOT the case, it
just looks like that (had to do it that way ;)
consequences:
as it took me some time to recode this script to work in most
browsers (i was ashamed to release a script that doesn't), the
result is that maybe i am not going to have time to write a decent
robot, and thus, not win.
so, if you use this judging script, and you DO win, i would be
very happy if you would give me a 'php addict' t-shirt (the one
you will receive for winning) as that is all i need. ;)))

In this five-part "Building a grid system using WS-Resource Transfer" series, we look at the use of WS-Resource Transfer (WS-RT) in different areas of the grid environment -- from using it as a method for storing and recovering general information about grid-to-grid monitoring and management, and security. We also examine how WS-RT can be used for the distribution and division of work. In any grid, there is a huge amount of metadata about the grid that needs to be stored and distributed. Using WS-RT makes sharing the information, especially the precise information required by different systems in the grid, significantly easier. Here in Part 4, we look at both sides of the security session, both in terms of using WS-RT as an aid to the authorization process and at combining WS-Security with WS-RT for secure resource exchange.

It's a good time to be a Web developer. You've never had more choices in terms of technologies. There are so many great open source Web servers, databases, programming languages, and development frameworks. No matter what combination of technologies you prefer to work with, there is an integrated development environment (IDE) that can increase your productivity: Eclipse. In this tutorial, Part 1 of a three-part "Web development with Eclipse Europa" series on how to use Eclipse for Web development with Java technology, PHP, and Ruby, we'll see how the latest release of Eclipse -- Europa -- can be used to rapidly develop Java Web applications. We'll use Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE) for Eclipse to build a Web application for tracking and calculating baseball statistics.
