D submission for c't programming contest gets special mention

[Vladimir Panteleev]

Some time ago someone wrote to this newsgroup that the German magazine c't  
was hosting a programming contest. I decided to participate using the D  
language, and my submission got the 17th place. I could have done a lot  
better, but due to poor time management on my behalf I left myself only  
one week for the bulk of programming.

Today a friend of mine found the article in the magazine and scanned it  
for me:

I can't post an exact translation as I don't speak German myself, but I  
was told that the editors found the unique behavior of my bot - flying  
around the screen while narrowly dodging obstacles - quite amusing to  
watch :)
