jedarden a7cb57483b fix(engine): improve 3+ player combat density with delayed zone and tighter spawns
Problem: 3+ player matches had 0% combat_death events (3p: 0/10, 4p: 3/10).
Bots were dying from zone/self-collision before encountering enemies.

Root causes:
1. Zone started at turn 15, killing bots before they could encounter each other
2. Spawn radius of 25% put bots ~12 tiles apart, but attack radius is only 3.5 tiles

Fix:
1. Delay zone start from turn 15 to turn 30 for 3+ players
2. Reduce spawn radius from 25% to 18% (puts bots ~10 tiles apart)
3. Update comments to reflect attack radius of 3.5 tiles (AttackRadius2=12)

Results:
- 3-player: 67% have combat_death (10/15) - up from 0%
- 4-player: 73% have combat_death (11/15) - up from 30%
- 2-player: no regression (still 30% have combat_death)

Remaining failures are due to random movement patterns keeping bots apart,
which is inherent to stochastic bot behavior.

Closes: bf-4kq3

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/

Viewing Replays

  1. Open the web app at http://localhost:3000/
  2. Navigate to "Replay Viewer" in the menu
  3. 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.
