i am in the process of building a bingobot with the following (limited
list) features:
no predefined bingocards, bot builds a fresh card for each player when he
joins the game. So no need to preload the world with cards. When a player
quits playing or leaves world card is deleted. Each card will be randomly
generated everytime. Bot will store permanently in a database the players
citnum, win/date/gamenumber, number of times played. (or whatever more
info is useful to store)

My question:

To balance botspeed and versatility, the less it has to check for object
overlap the better.

So:
A) who would want the bot to query the surrounding so as to quarantee the
bot builds cards only in free space never overlapping, (slow)

B) who would arrange the playpen so playing would be always on a level
field so bot only needs to check not to build a card on someone elses
card. (fast)

By default and/or not enough votes i will build bot for option B.

What I suggest(and doing for my bingobot) is have a object that tells the
bot where to build the cards so users can set where they would like the
cards to be.
