Here's a proto-rule for you: A space on the grid is defined by an ordered
set of 11 numbers. Each number may be either zero or one. The point whose
address is {0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0} is called the origin; the point
{1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1} is called the destination. Each player has a robot.
Once per checkpoint, each player may move in any single dimension. If a
robot moves onto a space containing exactly two other robots, one of those
two at random is captured. Robots may teleport from the origin to the
destination and vice versa. This ruleset is deliberately boring so that the
game can be expanded and complexified a little bit at a time; we've got
11-dimensionality in though.
