I have a suggestion.
I like the ideas other people are dishing, but I feel the most balanced method for this contest would simply be to give every participant a random melee hero to code the AI for, and then judge through a tournament. No voting, no debates on balance, just a good ol' fashion hero arena beat down. Whoever can teach the game to play their hero the best is the winner.
Make's things a lot simpler to judge, and frankly, I don't know about you guys but schools coming up soon. So although I'd love to participate, I won't have a ton of time to invest in making and programming AI for an entire fully customized hero/race/ect.
