Hey guys, I don't know how many of you are into Computer Science, but Facebook recently posted a set of programming challenges - one of which featured a SC2 theme.

Excerpt:

We Are The Swarm

Everyone you know anticipates the release of StarCraft 2 with vast eagerness. To help get back in the saddle of the greatest RTS Game Ever, you decide to use programming to help practice your decision making.

You are the Zerg Queen in command of the 654195331th legion of Zerg forces, the only side worth playing in StarCraft. The wise Overmind has given you the important task of cleaning up some remote planets for mineral mining operations. Apparently, some pesky Terran forces have decided to set up base defenses in these locations, prior to your arrival. With your limited forces, you must determine which Terran bases to attack. Your Zerg forces on each planet have free movement over that one planet, and may split up to attack any number of Terran bases on that planet. However, your Zerg ground forces have not yet evolved space flight and thus cannot travel from planet to planet to assist each other.


'We are the Swarm' Puzzle Page
This Puzzle is rated a "meal", which is their 3rd most difficult programming challenge out of 4.

That's a cute setup although (at face value) it can be cast straightforwardly as an optimization problem:

I've just finished my programming module which lasted over 2 months. Now, my Christmas holiday has finally started so I'm allowing myself to be lazy for the next 3 weeks
Sorry, Facebook!
