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 / over 1 year ago
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 / over 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 / over 2 years ago

You had to write the intelligence of a robot/tank in a C-like language of these game development software. The bottom line is two of these programs competed against each other. If I remember correctly these battles took place in a recurring tournament and you could win a license of the game developement software, or maybe nothing. The only one I found in a 2-minute search that is similar to this is Robocode... Source: over 3 years ago
One of the first incantations of this idea that I encountered, when I had just started working at my first corporate job back in the day, was Robocode ( https://robocode.sourceforge.io/ ) - it was great fun, and I see it's still going. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
