GridRoyale

[Ram Rachum]

Hi everyone!

I finally released the project I've been working on: https://github.com/cool-RR/grid_royale

I haven't reached the conclusions I wanted. I couldn't get the creatures to do anything smarter than eat the food and avoid colliding with other creatures. But I released it in a way that'll hopefully be easy for other people to extend.  

Thanks to everyone and especially Yehonatan Daniv for helping me with the frontend part.

Also, if you could star the repo, it'll help me get on the trending page :)

And it's on the front page of Hacker News :)

If anyone wants to help it reach the top, that'll be appreciated :)

Hmm, I've got 100 stars now, and yet I'm not on the trending page. I read about it and GitHub have a secret algorithm that looks at more things except stars.

If anyone feels like opening trivial pull requests, please do that. It's possible it'll push it over the edge to be on the trending page. You could make small fixes to my shitty JavaScript code (I still haven't learned the difference between const, var and let) or add a small docstring to any Python function or class.

Update: I got the creatures to be a bit smarter :)

Now they're pretty good at walking towards the food. It'll be a lot of work until I could see interesting strategic behavior.

Better graphics too :)

Red and yellow mean what?

Thank you 😊

Yellow means the creature just took a -5 point punishment for a collision.

Red means the creature just took a -10 point punishment for getting shot.

So you probably have a bug, since I saw both of these happening with no apparent reason (no missiles/adjacent creatures).

My bet would be it's not a bug, just the animation not making it clear enough what happened. For example, if a creature is at the edge of the board and they're trying to move towards it, that counts as a collision. If two creatures are adjacent and one shoots the other at point blank range, you will not see the bullet but the other creature would still be shot.

If you've seen a behavior that doesn't fit the two cases above, let me know the time point.

I think you are right (195, 204, 221, 243, 261 are all two nonadjacent creatures moving to the same spot).

Sorry for the hasty allegation...
