Yeah, I think they occasionally make that a programming assignment here for the one course where you need to program some sort of AI (I know Chess is a popular choice, though my roommate had to program one for this game called Amazons). I don't think they allow you to use a random strategy, since in all computer competitions it's been shown to be the winning strategy. =\
Jam it back in, in the dark.
