Sorry, left out 2 links:

IronPython 1.0 Beta 1
,
which was released at the end of last week, is "well integrated" with
the rest of the .Net programming framework and allows all .Net libraries
to be "easily" accessed by Python programmers, according to Microsoft.

Microsoft's support for Python could help the software giant attract
Unix developers to the Windows platform, as it is a commonly used
scripting language on the Unix platform, according to Salim Fadhley
,
who develops Python programs for Unix.

Bonne Chance!


It's definitely *not* exactly a programming challenge, but algorithm 
challenge.


A programming (only) challenge should only require the players to write 
codes to implement an algorithm.


This one requires both algorithm design & programming.

Hello, this is Jeff Cameron, the organizer of the Google AI Challenge.
I'm glad to see all this interest in our humble little contest. I wish
you all the best of luck, and encourage everyone to try their hand at
writing an AI for Tron! www.ai-contest.com


Someone please dumb the Tron ROM from the MAME32 project and use it as 
baseline answer. :)

Eh?  Just about every interesting programming challenge is mostly about
algorithm selection.  Try some Project Euler for example.


Everyone back then has abused the "programming" word to meant doing 
everything (algorithms (system analysis & design), data structures, 
coding, testing, documentation, auditing, ) at cheap 
salaries+benefits and tight schedules!
