Rectangles (a Single Submission Game - Results!)
« on: December 11, 2012, 05:50:04 pm »
This is a simplification of a game called Circles, by Zandor of the GL.

To enter, submit the bottom-left and top-right coordinates of a rectangle; all coordinates must be natural numbers from 0-100 inclusive.

For each unit square within the 100x100 playing region, a point will be awarded to the smallest (by area) rectangle containing that square. Ties for area will split the point.

Players:
Watno
Captain_Frisk
Tables
Galzria
Axxle
Grujah
eHalcyon
Schneau
theorel
cayvie

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

So... if I understand it... (Since I mixed up on Convex Hull) --- The larger the Rectangle is, the more opportunities you have to score points by individual unit squares - but any smaller rectangle contained within any part of your own takes those points away from you?

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

It doesn't matter, because you have no information about your opponents' choices - it's symmetric.

OP, this is a neat game-theory sort of game :)

6144: Schneau (0, 34) to (96,98)
9900: Captain_Frisk (0,0) to (99,100)
10000: Watno (0,0) to (100,100)

Scores:
2049: Axxle (1777+544/2)
1901: Grujah
1405: eHalcyon
1330: theorel

1035: Schneau
810: cayvie
200: Captain_Frisk
198: Tables

Congrats, Axxle!

(If Young Nick had gotten in before cayvie, Grujah would have won, and Young Nick would have stolen most of Captain_Frisk's points along with much of the rest of the void left by cayvie, with the slightly smaller (1,0) to (100,99).)

I would like to thank everyone who made this win possible: mith for running the game, me for wining the game, and everyone else for losing the game  ;)

Smart way of scoring it!

Omigosh second again! So close!

Damn slownick and damn Galz for not thinking right and making a smaller than 50x50 square, like I did.

Also, Tables and cayvie - why did you make squares with less than 10% of the area? It is very unlikely to win that way.
