Implements a hit-and-run strategy that scouts for lone enemy bots, attacks from flanking positions, then retreats after 1-2 engagement turns to avoid reinforcements. Defends own core when under pressure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

AI Code Battle
A competitive bot programming platform where participants write HTTP servers that control units on a grid world.
Overview
AI Code Battle is a game simulation platform where:
- Participants write bots in any language that expose HTTP endpoints
- Bots compete on a toroidal (wrapping) grid world
- Matches are executed offline and presented as completed replays
- A web platform shows leaderboards, match history, and replay viewers
Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Go 1.21+ (for game engine and CLI tools)
- Node.js 18+ (for web and worker components)
- Docker (for containerized deployment)
Running Locally
# Build CLI tools
go build ./cmd/acb-local
go build ./cmd/acb-mapgen
# Run a match between built-in bots
./acb-local -seed 42 -max-turns 100 -output replay.json -verbose
# Start web development server
cd web && npm install && npm run dev
# Open http://localhost:3000/app.html
Viewing Replays
- Open the web app at
http://localhost:3000/app.html - Navigate to "Replay Viewer" in the menu
- Load a replay JSON file or enter a URL

Strategy Bots
| Bot | Language | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| RandomBot | Python | Random valid moves (baseline) |
| GathererBot | Go | Energy collection, avoid combat |
| RusherBot | Rust | Rush enemy cores aggressively |
| GuardianBot | PHP | Defend cores, cautious expansion |
| SwarmBot | TypeScript | Formation cohesion, group advance |
| HunterBot | Java | Target isolated enemies |
Deployment
See DEPLOYMENT.md for detailed deployment instructions.
Quick Deploy
# Start all strategy bots
docker-compose -f docker-compose.bots.yml up -d
# Start match workers
docker-compose -f docker-compose.workers.yml up -d
Testing
# Go engine tests
go test ./engine/... -v
# Worker API tests
cd worker-api && npm test
# Index builder tests
cd cmd/acb-indexer && npm test
Architecture
The platform uses a split architecture:
- Cloudflare (free tier): Static site, API endpoints, D1 database, R2 storage
- Rackspace Spot: Match workers, bot containers, index builder
See docs/plan/plan.md for the full implementation plan.
