"Because he said nonsence the Knight kills him with his bow"
lol,J/K thats not completely right.
Their is a right answer to it but I want someone to figure it out.

My brother found that in a "book of riddles" in the game.(morrowind)

@BN2
I'm glad your going to try.

How long have you been working on that?

Both games only a couple months, one with a deadline of October 1st, the other is whenever. Star Wars Galaxies is a recent addiction, starting at the beginning of this month.

For the riddle, you could ask HIM a question

Here is what I was going to do, since I won't have time to code
(note that this is half a joke, but it would work for a game that increases with difficulty).

Make some simple program that just requires repetition (perhaps a fake web browser where you click links).

Periodically, reduce the frame rate. That way, it gets harder and harder to actually do stuff. The survival aspect would come in because the only way to end it (F12 excluded) is to have your character kill himself to escape the "lag".

The game really didn't come together,I never had the time, and now that i do, its spent waiting on my mom, standing in a t-moblie hot spot updating twwiitteerr.

OK. Got it! Heres the lo-down....


DD's AI CHALLANGE


Concept
While it sounds a bit complicated, the goal of this challange is to have Two(minimum) AI ("Bots" as i like to call them) perform some task. The task can be complex like finding waypoints and moving around a maze to somthing simple like.......following the user around. U can choose any task, and it does not have to be a game. just so long as the Ai Performs what ever task!

BE CREATIVE!

Oh, Extra points if it is a game!
And Extra points for Smooth stuff(Think "Curvevalue" and "Curveangle")!

Deadline:

Er.......I'm not sure......lets try Saturday at 5:00!?(IDK WHAT TIME ZONE I'M IN )


Good Luck all!
