battlesnake-v1

A snake submitted to https://play.battlesnake.com. Derived from the Python starter project.

Mostly incomplete. Would like to write a C or Rust battlesnake next time for fun.

project state

server_logic is the backup file in use, where server_logic_not_working is an "upgraded" (but not working) version attempted last-minute. Floodfill implementation is either hanging or taking longer than ~200ms (factoring in $0 server hosting delay of ~300ms).

addressed in server_logic_not_working

• The eat_map isn't actually used yet; snake just avoids certain death
• refactor food searching– currently eats quite a lot
• there are still some bugs + dumb deaths
• pathfinding to avoid getting trapped; find larger map section to enter

more ambitious todos

• trap other snakes
• use health information of other snakes
• less greedy/nearsighted. Look beyond 1 square LOL
