There are lots of "robot battle" games out there, like but none in Haskell, of course.
do the icfp contests count? not even limited to haskell, and there were several tasks that look related, including:

claus Perhaps it would be interesting to generalize the notion of a 'game' so that programmers could design their own simple games to compete in as well as designing game-playing agents? I'm not sure if this presents problems as far as running untrusted code but it would add a lot of appeal to the site in my mind. If designed right, the agents could be run against multiple games; seeing a hierarchy of agent performance across a number of different challenges would be very cool. David
