+ Planetwars is a game of galactic conquest for busy people. Your goal is to program a bot that + will conquer the galaxy for you, while you take care of more important stuff. +

+

+ In every game turn, your bot will receive a json-encoded line on stdin, describing the current + state of the game. Each state will hold a set of planets, and a set of spaceship fleets + traveling between the planets (expeditions). +
