ICFP Programming Contest 2002

Team Name: pyloner

Program Name: AAW (almost aimless wanderer)


This is an unspectacular entry, on which the constraints were

    - I had to do it solo (no friends silly enough)

    - I had to fit it into work and a busy weekend
      (It got about 15 hours of tinkering all up, I guess)

    - I wanted to do it in pure python

The latter meant that path finding was an issue, and on big open
maps, the robot will almost certainly find itself wandering
aimlessly.

Nevertheless, I really enjoyed my time, and trust that my player
might at least form a target for some smart water pushers!

Thanks for organising the comp, and I look forward to reading
about clever solutions.
