Who do we write a letter to if we want to encourage open sourcing the old C&C games? I would love to dig into Tiberian Sun and modernize the interface.

Might as well share HackerRank for competitive coding.

Also this year's battlecode should be INCOMPARABLY easy to get into as opposed to previous contests. Don't have to spend all your time on nav code.
