What do you think about bringing the GigaRumble participants to the main roborumble page, and adding the gigarumble.txt and gigarumble.sh/bat files to the superpacks?

Totally cool with me, I do think it's a pretty interesting rumble. Worth noting that it requires a little maintenance to actually sort the main rumble by PL and update the participants list from time to time, but the top 30 doesn't change that often.

Also open to discussion about the number of bots/format/name and such, all of which I dictated when it was just me playing around.

Does this mean I should start keeping my own entry updated on the participants list? At the moment, XanderCat 11.4 is still in the GigaRumble, which is quite a bit out of date.

Once you are on this page, you have your ticket in. Feel free to edit.

Voidious, I'm sure you could automate the page generation?

Er, yeah, I guess I could. Sort main rankings by PWIN, take top 30, update GigaRumble participants list - right?

I really should get all this stuff running from the RoboWiki server. It's funny sometimes when I turn off my laptop for travel, then come back online and see a few @roborumble tweets come in. ;)

Could you update your gigarumble.txt file to the new URL and add it to the superpack?

As a note, I just updated robocode-archive.strangeautomata.com to ensure that participants-latest.zip always includes versions in the GigaRumble participants list as well as the other versions. This is to cover the case of the main participants list getting a new version before GigaRumble.

(Also tomorrow makes for the 1-year anniversary of the cron job for robocode-archive.strangeautomata.com being started, and hasn't failed since :))

Nice! It's a great resource, we all owe you a thanks for setting that up.
