Title: In-game Tournaments?
Post by: Urjak on January 01, 2009, 04:08:19 PM: Hello, I was just wondering how many people still do those in-game tournaments. I know I don't anymore, and was wondering what everyone else did.

You know, It would be cool to see a race tournament in DSL 3, or some new Tourny's...

Which means it IS possible to win in DSL with the right design, and I still do tourneys in DSL (though admittedly not very often).

So... yes, sorta.

And it is possible to make AI race, just check the DSL 3.0 preview thread.

Post by: Meganerdbomb on January 10, 2009, 01:48:38 PM: I still do. Even thought it's almost impossible to win more than two rounds against Starcore AI, you can still win the season. I sometimes do it just to test my robot out in against a random opponent, or just for the heck of it.
