AI Code Battle - Implementation Progress

Current Phase: Phase 6 - Deployment & Production

Status: 🔄 In Progress

Last Updated: 2026-03-26

Recent Changes (2026-03-26)

• Fixed math bug: replaced broken Taylor series sin/cos approximations with math.Sin/math.Cos in engine/match.go and cmd/acb-mapgen/main.go. The Taylor series produced incorrect results for angles > π, causing incorrect core/energy/wall placement in 3+ player maps.
• Replaced random wall scatter with cellular automata wall generation in cmd/acb-mapgen/main.go:
  • Seeds full grid at 40% density
  • Runs 4 iterations of B5/S4 cellular automata smoothing
  • Enforces rotational symmetry by mirroring sector 0
  • Thins to target density
  • Protected zones around cores (3-tile radius) and energy nodes
  • Produces natural cave-like wall structures instead of scattered dots
• Added comprehensive map generation tests (cmd/acb-mapgen/mapgen_test.go):
  • Connectivity validation across all player counts and 10 seeds each
  • Core count and ownership verification
  • Energy node/wall non-overlap
  • Wall density bounds checking
  • Disconnected map detection (BFS validation)
  • Small grid generation
  • Determinism (same seed = same map)
• Added dominance win condition tests (engine/turn_test.go):
  • 100-turn consecutive dominance threshold verification
  • Dominance counter reset when falling below 80%
• All tests pass (engine + worker + mapgen)

  • Namespace, ArgoCD Application with auto-sync and self-heal
  • Deployments: match worker (2 replicas), index builder, 6 strategy bots
  • ClusterIP Services for all 6 bots (cluster DNS: acb-strategy-*.ai-code-battle.svc:8080)

  • /health and /ready endpoints on metrics HTTP server (default :9090)
  • Configurable via ACB_METRICS_ADDR environment variable
• Instrumented worker execution flow with metrics recording
• Added comprehensive tests (cmd/acb-worker/metrics_test.go)
  • Health/ready endpoint tests, counter accuracy, histogram bucket correctness
  • Concurrency safety test (10 goroutines x 100 operations)
• All tests pass (engine + worker)
