“If you see any issues with any of the top 5 submissions”

I wished the prizes were for top 5! Just one more… :(

Hi lab9,
I think there is limitation of the random function that there are sometimes the random numbers are repeating.

Personally I’d prefer Grant’s ProximityManager as it supports a more flexible way to find the neighbours of a cell.

Anyway, all did a great job and we now have a nice collection of alot of beautiful code. :)

I believe Grant’s could be sped up quite a bit by changing uint to int throughout his class. Try it out and see what happens.

@jpauclair – re useless var – maybe some weird JIT related thing?? things getting aligned differently or something.

In general, I probably should have tested against the release player more, some of the optimisations I added that improved performance on the debug player might have had the opposite effect on release.

Still, I guess it’s a successful contest when everyone’s learned something they can apply to ASDTC#2! :)
