The idea is to create a battle game, where the participants code their AI, and then we make them fight! You can play by adding your own AI to the game!

Clone the repo, install dependencies, and start the game:

git clone https://github.com/stayradiated/clashjs
cd clashjs

npm ci
npm start

Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Add your player as specificed in player definition in

/src/Players/mybot.js

And then require yourself in

/src/Players.js

And run the demo again. Have fun!

Read the game definitions to learn how to create your player. Have fun!

The game is simple: we will put all the players in a battle arena, and then make them fight to death. There will be ammo in the arena so they can shoot each other. The last player alive wins!

• Every player will have a position and direction on the grid. A player can not go over the grid limits, and can only face north, east, south or west.
• The game will be turn based. Every turn we will excecute the AI of every player passing as arguments:
  • The state of the player.
  • The state of all other players.
  • A environment configuration option with:
    • Grid size.
    • The position of the ammo.
• Every turn a player must execute some of the following actions:
  • Move one step in its current direction. (move).
  • Turn into any of the four directions. (north, east, south, west).
  • Shoot. (shoot).
• A player can shoot to try to destroy another player.
• A player can collect ammo in the moment it steps over it. A new ammo may appear in any moment of the game.

Let the player definition (playerDefinition) be an object with the player info and its AI function.

export const info = {
  name: 'x-wing',
  style: 2 // one of the 6 styles (0 to 5)
}

export default function(player, enemies, map) {
  // think...
  return 'move';
}

The AI function will receive:

• player
• enemies (array of all the other players state)
• and map

as arguments, and must return one of the following strings:

• "north", "east", "south" or "west": To turn to that direction.
• "move": To move one tile in the current direction.
• "shoot": To shoot if the user has enough ammo.

Any other response, trying to move outside the arena size (map.gridSize) or trying to shoot without ammo, will result in a no-op.

Let the player state (player) be an object with a player information like the following:

{
  position: `[<number>, <number>]`,
  direction: `<string>`, // One of 'north', 'east', 'south' or 'west'
  ammo: `<number>`,
  isAlive: `<bool>`
}

Let the game map (map) be an object like the following:

{
  gridSize: [<number>, <number>],
  ammoPosition: <array of [<number>, <number>] arrays>
}
