It's early enough in the semester that I can get away with playing some #BattleSheep between classes.
The #Sprouts2026 page is up: https://kyleburke.info/sprouts/sprouts2026/ We still don't know which day in April 2026 we'll hold it (probably a Saturday).
We're going to play #BattleSheep. We'll have a human tournament and computer player tournament. You can mess around with computer players here: https://kyleburke.info/sprouts/sprouts2026/sprouts2026ComputerTournament.php
Sprouts is a conference for undergraduates to present about abstract games, but everyone is welcome to attend.
See you in April! #CombinatorialGames
Gamesters at conferences play games. #Red7 at lunch on the final day (day 4) of #Integers2025.
This was a great conference and a real blast to be a part of! Thanks to Bruce and all the organizers for letting me be a part of it.
On the way to #Integers2025 , I told my colleague, trapped in the car with me, that I was going to be lost in the #NumberTheory talks. I mused that all I remembered from abstract algebra that might be relevant was Cayley groups.
I didn't see that name (Cayley) until day three. I failed even at knowing what I wouldn't know.
