Yes, actually I've never really had any intention of entering either. I kinda figure this should be more of a contest to get other people trying things out. Besides, I'm much too busy with my other OP2 related projects. (That and the kind of mission I've been hoping to eventually write doesn't exactly fit the contest restrictions).
Edit: Btw, not everything is really completely understood about the AI related functions. Which I guess kinda makes this contest interesting since you might be the first to actually figure something out.
Of course, with that said, someone on here generaly knows something about any given part, so if you have specific questions feel free to post. Hopefully someone can answer. Of course, you'll probably have to be fairly specific about what you're trying to do, or what you're trying to use. A general question like "how do I write an AI" is much too vague to get a useful answer. (Or even a not so useful answer for that matter. :unsure: ). Besides, with a million possible answers, how can someone decide on a correct one to give you? They probably just won't answer.
