Welcome to the Badass Bottle Bats wiki

Intro

Bottle Bats is fully functional platform that supports an AI competition hosted by Zeus WPI. Its goal is to provide an easy introduction to Artificial Intelligence for inexperienced coders, as well as get more experienced programmers interested in challenging their friends and co-workers. The platform matches users (and of course their bots) against each other while keeping track of their respective scores and skill levels. It also provides a battlefield to fight on and a nice visualization to clearly demonstrate the intrigues of the ongoing battles to top it all off.

Editions

Design philosophy

  • Less is more: Don't play lots of games, but make the games you play count.
  • Connections: Let players connect with the game and their bot, let them be emotionally involved.

Ideas

Since we aim to create different rulesets every edition, we might want to keep track of ideas for future expensions. Think big, but mostly think fun (and somewhat doable to implement).
