The Rabbit Game

The Rabbit Game - A game cute for humans and tough for AIs

Discover various kinds of artificial intelligence algorithms by watching them play a simple game: a rabbit eating strawberries in a maze (humans can play too 😉). Play it here.

Note: The game was tested on Chrome (& chromium-based) and firefox browsers; it is not yet mobile compliant unfortunately.

This repository contains all the frontend/backend for the game website. Core libs for the game engine, along with artificial players code and a CLI, can be found here. Deep-learning based players (work in progress) are here.

Purpose

The goal of The Rabbit Game is to demystify artificial intelligence a little, by watching how machines play the game. But first, you can play it a little yourself to see how it works, get a good score and try all the various levels.

Then, you can let artificial intelligences play. Check out the 8 different artificial players; each has its own style determined by its stats--its strong and weak points (click on a stat to see what it means).

Have different AIs play on different levels. Each new level introduces something new that will make it tougher for AIs. See which ones get far, which one fail, and why they behave like this (click on "Learn more about me" to understand an AI's behaviour).

Additionnally, if you're a hacker, you can try to code an algorithm to go to the highest possible level. If it clears the last level, which is quite hard, you can win a lot of internet points (really awful lot).

Setup

Requirements

• Clojure & clojurescript v1.10.1 or above
• Leiningen v2.7.8 or above

Other requirements / dependencies will be installed by leiningen, see the lein project file

Installation

Meant for local use, not remote use.

git clone https://github.com/philipperolet/trg-libs.git
cd trg-libs
lein install && lein clean
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/philipperolet/the-rabbit-game.git
cd the-rabbit-game

• Start game server (backend) with lein run -m claby.ux.server/serve args where args is a string of command-line args such as explained in the TRG libs CLI;

• The following will launch a browser with the game frontend--it will only work if the backend has been started

lein fig:build-lapy

Server setup

Adapt certificate file names and domain names as needed.

sudo apt install nginx
sudo cp api.game.machine-zero.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/

# get the certificate & key from ssl, then run these lines
sudo cp api.game.machine-zero.com.crt /etc/nginx/ssl
sudo cp api.game.machine-zero.com.key.nopasswd /etc/nginx/ssl
sudo chmod go-rwx /etc/nginx/ssl/api.game.machine-zero.com.key.nopasswd 
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/api.game.machine-zero.com.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

crontab -e
# add line: @reboot bash /home/ubuntu/the-rabbit-game/start-server-prod.sh
sudo reboot

Dev & deploy

GUI tools and entry points are in claby.ux

To get an interactive development environment run:

lein fig:build-lapy

This will auto compile and send all changes to the browser without the need to reload. After the compilation process is complete, you will get a Browser Connected REPL. An easy way to try it is:

(js/alert "Am I connected?")

and you should see an alert in the browser window.

To clean all compiled files:

lein clean

To create a production build run:

lein clean
lein fig:prod
