  33 <p><em>Cartena</em> is a simple race-based board game.  You can <a href="rules.html">read the
  34 rules</a> and look at the board to see how the game is played.  More details on Cartagena are at <a href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/826">Board Game Geek</a></p>
  35
  36 <p>The challenge is to build a computer program that will play the
  37 game well.  The structure of the challenge is heavily based on the one
  38 for <a href="../pousse/index.html">Pousse</a>.  What needs to be fixed
  39 for the game is <a
  40 href="interface.html">how your player will be called</a>.</p>
  41
  42 <h2>The Web interface</h2>
  43
  44 <p>Here you can find some simple web forms that will allow you to
  45 interact with the automatic Pousse players.  There're two forms
  46 here:</p>
  47
  48 <ul>
  49 <li>The <a href="simple.html">simple form</a>, intended for your own
  50 program to interact with; and</li>
  51 <li>The complex form, intended for a human player.</li>
  52 </ul>
  53
  54 <h2>The library</h2>
  55
  56 <p>I've written a <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/">Ruby</a> library <code><a href="libcartagena.rb">libcartagena.rb</a></code>, to act as a reference implementation.  You can also download the <a href="libcartagena_test.rb">unit tests</a> for it.  Both the library and the unit tests are released under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html">GNU General Public Licence v3</a>.</p>
