Short Problem Description

This was the Spring 1997 ... send email to fah@potm.ffast.att.com and ask for all the details on the NEXT POTM ...

The deadline for entering was June 30th, 1997

SHOWDOWN!

You are blindfolded. You are in one corner of a rectangular room. Your opponent is in the opposite corner. Moving one square at a time, can you occupy your opponent's home square before your home square is captured??

Sound trivial?? Then consider adding radar, wall-building, and sleep-guns. Design a program that can play this game, win the elimination tournament, and gain POTM fame!
