Game Idea: Haxball

3. Since it would use floating point numbers, we would have to deal with rounding errors. Even though the physics are really simple (just circles and straight lines), the game specification may still be pretty complex.

That's easy to get around. Just use fixed point instead.

Just had to make a forum account to point this out, but it seems we were beaten to it. Some Swedish company has made a version of this, its currently only .net based tho...

http://www.cloudball.se/ if you wanna have a look, seems quite fun tbh

Edit: found a wiki with some info: http://cloudball.wikia.com/wiki/CloudBall_Wiki

The game looks very cool, but as cobracom said, having no maps is a big disadvantage. What about something similar to Haxball but with maps?

Well played Ice Harley
I couldn't find the time to work on my bot but I have to admit the game was really nice (and C# <3 ) and your bot quite impressive!

Anyway, if you guys find any other interesting contest, please keep posting about it over here
Thanks!
