Fuzzer

[coreyja]

The goal here is to build some 'fuzz' testing machinery that can help prove that a given simulation engine is 'correct'.

The basic idea is to split things into these parts:

• 'Fuzz Testing' app [this thing!]
  • This creates a random game to start, and plays random moves for all snakes on the board.
  • It sends the original board and the moves chosen for each snake to each 'implementation server'
  • It compares the different 'implementation results' and checks they match. If it doesn't we found an issue!
  • If it does match, we take the updated board state and re-run our loop. If the game is over, we create a new starting game
• 'Implementation Servers'
  • Evaluate a given set of moves, for a board. [Ignoring any instances of Randomness. Ex: No food spawns, no additional hazards]
  • 'Official Go Rules'
    • Go server that uses the official 'rules' repo to make moves
  • 'Rust Implementation'
    • This is really going to be the things we are testing!
