Underway!

Welcome new participants and veterans alike. Here on the other side, I have the privilege of peeking at the entries while we’re still in Darkness and Twilight. There is already some clever code in the queue. Our first deadline is noon on Thursday, when we award the Darkness prize.

Remember that FIGURE and ERROR are on the illegal list and any entries that contain them are automatically rejected. This is particularly dangerous while we’re still in Darkness, as you know this is happening.

Also, as the person who will get the beep in the middle of the night if the machinery goes down, I’d like to remind you our no-hacking policy is in effect again for this contest. My sanity thanks you.

Details on both of these are at the bottom of the rules.

    the function doMoves will be automatically available? or we’ve to put (cut & paste) it in the solver function additionally?

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
