• Battlesnake Challenge

  Battlesnake is a bit like Robot Wars for programmers: by controlling your snake with code, battles with other snakes can be won or lost. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Practicing Rust, Learning Bevy, Creating a WASM Snake Game for the Browser

  Somewhat tangential, but RustConf last year had a talk[1] about a guy picking up Rust to get better times at Battle Snake[2]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I1BfSpoWM0 [2] https://play.battlesnake.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Ask HN: How can I run untrusted Python code?

  You could use a short response timeout (<1s) to make it impractical for human players to participate - for instance, that's what Battlesnake does (https://play.battlesnake.com/). Players provide an endpoint that follows the required API and their code never leaves their machines. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

  Battlesnake is a multiplayer game where a small server you write plays a survival-style snake game paired with snakes implemented by others. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• Which learning platform do you use? If you don’t, how do you study and keep yourself up to date with the ever expanding tech industry?

  Also for fun / to answer the passion part: how far can you get in https://warriorjs.com/ or https://play.battlesnake.com/ :) It's getting more advanced than you'd think. Source: almost 2 years ago

  Dev.to does really cool stuff” — when it comes to folks getting started with writing about tech, Dev provides an accessible platform for doing so. Jon was personally excited about Battlesnake and its unique way of exercising creativity. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• An online snake game that you can't play- you need to program a bot to compete for you

  This looks cool, also seems similar sounding to battlesnake. Source: over 2 years ago

• Battleship

  There is a snake version of this called Battlesnake https://play.battlesnake.com/ Did it while I was in university. I even won one of the categories one year. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• What I'm Learning in 2022

  I've automated a few things using Github Actions already, namely tests and deployment of my Battlesnake to AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Automating even just tests for our app at work will be a bit more of a challenge since it's a much older stack and has many more moving parts. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• ECA Ideas

  In terms of computing (which is what I do) there's a lot. A video games development club can be a lot of fun (with all computing clubs, however, be prepared to deal with some toxic masculinity of the "nerdy" kind and have strategies in place to keep it a welcoming/friendly place). Similar thing for robotics (but that's higher budget :(). https://play.battlesnake.com/ can be fun (but definitely requires you to be... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Question Regarding Algorithms To Determine "Best" Opener

  Yeah that makes sense, some sort of online ranking like Battlesnake? Source: about 3 years ago

• So you beat the "Training Program" & "Solo Survival"?

  That means its probably time for the "Hard Mode" challenge pack over on play.battlesnake.com 🐍. Source: about 3 years ago

• I grew up coding games and learned a lot from it. Too many coders never get the chance to experiment with games, so I made an open-source engine called CODE / COLLISION - all you code is your strategy, and then compete against your friends/coworkers in an offline tournament.

  Btw if this sort of thing seems up your alley checkout battlesnake. I actually won one of the events before they got more intense / algorithmic. Still pretty fun to participate in. Source: about 3 years ago

• Replit.com raises $80m in Series B

  I used Replit to build a Python battlesnake for https://play.battlesnake.com/. It was nice and easy to get started with. Unfortunately the latency/performance isn't reliable enough for my battlesnake - my snake moves between about 50 and 150 in the global league just depending on the Replit server performance. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Meet Searchy, the Battlesnake powered by Algolia Search

  Since I started working at Algolia, I see search everywhere. Naturally, when trying my hand at building a Battlesnake, my first thought was "can I build a snake powered by search?" So I played mad scientist and built a Battlesnake that uses queries against an Algolia Search index to hunt for food on the board. Her name is Searchy. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

  Thing is but none fulfils the API of https://play.battlesnake.com/. Source: about 3 years ago
