Usage

Here are some brief instructions on how to add Engines to the above tables. Please let me know (friarsol) if you have difficulties with the instructions, and I'll try to clarify them.

Adding an Engine

Copy the format provided by one of the other Engines already on the list.

For example, on the first table, copy the following (from the wiki code):

|-
| [http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=26 Forge] || Any (Java) || N/A || Java || 2012-08-03 [http://www.slightlymagic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=7738 (1.2.11)] || 3-4 Weeks || Simple || 11034

and paste it below the last line that starts an Engine table row, just before the

|}

and then fill in the appropriate data, making sure to leave spaces in between the || symbol

Each table has slightly different column length, so make sure to grab your sample table row from the right table before adding.

Adding new Columns

If you'd like to add a new Column, I'd recommend adding at the end of an existing table. The trick here is to make sure you provide phantom data cells for every other engine that exists. Unless you don't mind hitting the preview button a lot, feel free to make suggestions and I can add them in if they seem like a reasonable comparison.

Notes

Can be any short description, hopefully how the AI works (AI/Simple State machine etc), if we need to expand below with a longer description we can do that.
Multiplayer means more than 2 players. Network Play means More than 1 Human.
BotArena AI: FranAvalon says: I dont know what we can put here, but if we compared BA's AI with the other.... At least BA's AI can win a lot of games playing as a real player, instead lose the games by yourself because you are mana flooding, mana screw. Also, which AI can win you on second turn? ;D.) Basically, AI is our main attraction
