Yes, I was thinking of that; the problem is I'm doing this quite late, and am not even currently certain just what I'll count as a defection, if I can even get this to work...
(Worse yet, I'm finding that my current program may have to rely on features I want to disallow! Although quite possibly in a way that won't get them detected as disallowed...)
Agreed that even Scheme is a bit much for static analysis. We could ask AlexMennen to disallow multithreading and timing. Would there be objections to that?
Just curious: AlexMennen how many submissions have you received? Do any use multithreading or timing libraries?
I'd tentatively object. The 10-second timeout rule becomes too much of a problem if your program can't guard against it, and changing the rules so that failure to play a real move in time = defect would also make static analysis a major pain.
