Battlesnakes!

I've created this thread to serve as a place for you all to share your Battlesnake code, links, questions, and thoughts.

I am super excited to see what other people create

[eddiejaoude]

oh we should remind people about this

[Vyvy-vi]

Q) What strategy would you advice to get the snake's logic up fast?

[eddiejaoude]

I would recommend using one of their starter projects, this will move the snake in random directions, but it will work. Then I would suggestion

1. avoid colliding with the walls
2. avoid colliding with itself
3. avoid other snakes
4. chase food

[SashoStoichkov]

That sounds like a perfect plan 👍🏻

[Vyvy-vi]

hmm how's this for better snake-logic:

• shortest path to food
• longest path to it's own tail

[SashoStoichkov]

This sounds pretty similar to the hamiltonian cycle 👍🏻

[Vyvy-vi]

hmm however, the implementation might differ since the hamiltonian cycle is fixed for each match and the snake can short the cycle for food(I have no clue how to do the short-circuiting of the cycle for food and other snakes etc). I suppose these three can be integrated to make a great logic but I have an hour and my previous iterations were pretty much terrible. 😂

Here is my "python" - https://github.com/SashoStoichkov/BattleSnakePython100

Anyone know a good starter repo for JS or TS repo(too lazy to look at the docs right now), I am gonna try and build one today.
