I started playing spring and found out that i had absolutely no chance against the people on the net. I simply didnt understood how the units and eco system worked.
After a while of beeing bashed in the online mode i started playing Spring versus the AI's that are available on the net.
After a while i found out that the AI's learn while beeing used, so i thought about a nice way to train the AI's:

Let the play against each other

After a while i started to let different AI's Play against each other and found out that there are different bugs in different AI's.

So now ill start posting my results here and when i have enough matches and data I'll start the

SPRING AI LEAGUE

• diffent maps to be played
  
• 2 matches per map (changing start pos)
  
• winner is who whiped the enemy completely off the map (3 pts)
  
• if there is a rest of the enemy station its a draw (1 pts)

Ill post noticable here in the blog

I have a new job and now I am working at   chip.de  where I am responsible for the development of a subproject for the website.
We are a team of 5 developers and have a backoffice/sales team that outnumbers us by the factor 2. So far so good. From the technical point of view it's a interesting thing here:

• the it website with the most pi's in germany
  
• a large webfarm where our application runs in
  
• a IT department that is 50% of teh company ;)
  
• a lot of php coding people

One of my first jobs is a prototype project that should help us deciding how and if we should develop a special sub site for the whole company. So far, this time it is up to me to decide the toolbox we are using. So far, there is a lot to choose, its a high load website application that must be able to deliver a lot of pi's a day.

• PHP5
  
• Mysql 4.x with PDO
• Smarty: because were already using it
• Zend Framework, because i do not like having glued together components like PEAR
  
• Simpletest, because i still likeit more than PHP-Unit (All Objects were doing for our selfes need to be unit-tested)
  
• Moo.fx (Javascritp Framework) for Ajax/Client Interactivity

Since it will be a effort to establish PHP5, UnitTesting, modern AJAX Principles, its surely interesting for all the readers  of that blog. Illkeep you people Updated.
