    Notes from ClojureD 24.1.2015

Albrecht Schmidt: "Start your engine: My Clojure Bot in the Hello World Open 2014"


Hello World Open: programming contest organised by Reaktor and Supercell with ~2500 teams, worldwide distribution

Client-server car race, cards driven with some parameters such as decelerate/accelerate, change lanes
Organisers provided test server with simple testing UI


Parameters for car are quite simple: current angle, position etc
Clojure works well for processing simple data structures like this - analysis, storing, examining
Used Incanter to plot bot data during test (throttles vs. angles)
