What are you playing right now, guys?

It varies really. I was recently playing Sleeping Dogs, but I also broke out my old GBA and am playing some old Pokemon games. The wiki is a bit dead right now, but I still try in check in one or twice a week.
Ooh! One of the old guard! I'm busy with real life at the moment, and the ideas I have for Robocode and all too complicated to be completed in a weekend. But some very 'preposterous' ideas that might just change the robocode dynamic all over again are something I definitely have tucked up my sleeve =)
Hi Iiley, your bots always gave me (and still do) a lot of trouble. Your cx. bots (and Pear ofcourse) still have the name of being very tough. Nice of you to drop by. For me, too little time to even work out the 'simplest' idea's, but I still check the wiki around twice a week. Maybe when you give Pear an update and shake up the ranking . . .
Hi, ohhIiley (talk) the wiki is not death, you guys cool. I just can't forget the game, so check here some time some thing remind me robocode. I miss the time when i was playing, but i have no idea if i will update my robots right now, i'm just back to see you guys, to see if there's some new here. :) Please write your idea bot out, GrubbmGait, maybe it will be the new dominion of robots. ;)
Smash Up, the board game. Lots and lots of Smash Up. I am thinking about working more on Giskard though. Had a bit of a scare when the wiki was down for a while, just as I went back to read about the rumble ranking calculations.
Faster Than Light (Steam version). An free expansion was released a few days ago.
Also trying to build a bot for General game playing. I learned how to work around the Multi-armed bandit problem we stumbled in the rumble a long time ago. Someone suggested priority battles should be based on sampled variance to minimize error in scores. But sampled variance also has an error and variance. You need variance to choose where to sample, but need samples to calculate variance.
Nope. Follow the link for a description.
GGP bots are designed to be able to play playing different games, all with the same engine (same source code). It can play tic-tac-toe, checkers, chess...
The server gives the rules of the game at runtime, the bot processes the rules and figures out how to play it at runtime. And then it plays it against other GGP bots.
