The Common Lisp starter kit was implemented quite differently that the Python and Java kits (who I think were designed and written by the same person). The Common Lisp kit just had one example bot, so maybe it is still being worked on.

I started working on it a couple of weeks ago using this wiki page: https://github.com/aichallenge/aichallenge/wiki/Ants-Strateg... Later on I found a more extensive wiki page about the same thing: https://github.com/aichallenge/aichallenge/wiki/Ants-Starter...

Perhaps the Python and Java kits used the latter (as I should have done).

More example bots with probably not be added to the CL package by me (but feel free to do so!). I agree with the description on one of the wiki pages that the starter packages should be pretty minimal so that users will see improvements quickly when they start tinkering with it.

I've just taken care of the plumbing so the participants can get started with the fun things right away :-)
