For those that are interested, the new 2013 release is now live[1]. Should be a fun game this year -- enough spec changes that even seasoned Battlecode veterans will have to sit down and think quite carefully about how to write a bot.

Shared sensor data now makes higher-level strategies a ton more viable, so it'll be fun to see what contestants come up with.

There's a quick start available if you want to just clone and hack some things together in git[2] and hg[3] flavors.
