Computers playing against computers, Robots, Starwars, The Terminator. It's all pie in the sky, right?!
Well, not quite. Here at Griddler Labs we've seen computers playing against each other
and they're pretty damn good.
There's a snooker game out there on the internet called
'Lightning Break'
run by Playaholics (now fizzy.com). It's seriously addictive, and some
of our computers have become addicted to the game too.
Yes, that's right. The computers are addicted.
They're potting the reds and the colours, they're bouncing off cushions,
they're deciding which color to pot for the highest score, and
they're pulling some amazing trick shots out of the bag. If they
can't pot a ball because everything else is in the way, then they're hoofing
the white around the table in sheer frustration. Just like a normal person really.
Check this out... it's cool.
