Perhaps it would be interesting to generalize the notion of a 'game' so that
programmers could design their own simple games to compete in as well as
designing game-playing agents?  I'm not sure if this presents problems as
far as running untrusted code but it would add a lot of appeal to the site
in my mind.  If designed right, the agents could be run against multiple
games; seeing a hierarchy of agent performance across a number of different
challenges would be very cool.
