When a specific site provides a collection of different games, please list the homepage itself and not all the individual games; however, individual listings are fine if that's all the site provides. Listings should be in alphabetical order.

• The Blip
  • Various boardgames implemented here.
• BoardSpace.net
  • Various boardgames here like Zertz, Plateau, and Lines of Action.

• C++ Robots
  • C++Robots is an ongoing “King of the Hill” (KotH) tournament in which players use ANSI C or C++ to create a control program for a robot. The purpose of your robot is to seek out and destroy any other robots in the arena. You submit your control program to the C++Robots server via eMail. Your program is compiled by the GNU C++ compiler and loaded into a robot. Your robot then fights each of the robots “on the hill”, one at a time. Each match consists of 5 rounds. You get 3 points for winning a round, and 1 point for a draw. If your total score is better than any of the other robots currently on the hill, you have “made the hill”, assuming the appropriate position, and bumping the lowest scoring robot from the hill.
