As I've already mentioned here before, our small goal is to built a program which only purpose is to search and submit new, previously unknown dense packing achievements to the Internet without any human intervention except to start it and to provide the hardware, power, internet connection and such. Every solution is the program's creation and innovation.

It has been done. A small program is "scavenging" over the www.packomania.com and reading the best packing solutions there. It tries to find a better one. If it succeeds in 8192 seconds, then the program publishes the result on the http://www.algit.eu/htmlji/Packntile/Packing_Contest_01052010.html and sends it to Eckard Specht  http://hydra.nat.uni-magdeburg.de/  by an email.

(Well this emailing has been cut out already as unnecessary. Packomaia is updated from our site, directly, by mister Specht.)

If there is no new better solution in those 8192 seconds, a new random problem is selected and pursued by the program. The program (formerly known as Pack'n'tile) also doesn't care if the current target solution is its own or of a human. Neither if its previous effort on that particular problem was not successful. Or if it was. He doesn't remember it, anyway.

For now, there will be only one instance of the program somewhere near us. It is fast and powerful enough to run on a modest PC computer for a solution per day. It would took decades to populate this large searching space of various dimensions, shapes and numbers predominantly by its solutions, but the impact is already visible. Of course, more and faster CPUs will be provided for the job, eventually. 

We don't want to take the fun out of the game. On the contrary, the solutions are the most important and we are providing them.
