Rusty Snake

Rusty is a battle snake built with Rocket, a rust web developement framework.

The project was recently updated with version 1.0 of battlesnake.

Note:

If you just want to use this as the starter snake run this command in the directory.

git checkout template

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

In order to use and develope Rusty your going to need a few things:

1. Rust
2. A very basic understanding of the web
3. A understanding of the game this bot is trying to play

Installing

Once your done with the basics copy and paste the command below into your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/McRaeAlex/RustySnake.git

Then

cd RustySnake
git checkout template
cargo run

You should see something like this

Configured for development.
    => address: localhost
    => port: 8000
    => log: normal
    => workers: 8
    => secret key: generated
    => limits: forms = 32KiB
    => tls: disabled
🛰  Mounting '/':
    => GET /
    => POST /start
🚀  Rocket has launched from http://localhost:8000

if you don't and it gives you errors saying missing features or something about nightly, run:

rustup default nightly

to switch your default toolchain to nightly

to install nightly

rustup install nightly

To push it to your own repo

git push -u <your repo>

And your done!
