&quot; Step 1<p>Write a program to play the game Snake<p>Step 2<p>Deploy using whatever technology you like<p>Step 3<p>Battle other snakes and compete in arenas!<p>&quot;<p>Sounds cool, that title make it sound like yet another worms.io clone, but this is programmatic gaming - I feel the title should include that, or &quot;make a snake bot to battle in a classic &#x27;snake&#x27; arena&quot;.

I just realized that a multiplayer Snake is basically the TRON racing game played on a discrete grid.

Looks very cool!<p>I have a question - with AI nowadays that can dominate pretty much any board game - is there any hope for anyone &#x27;hand coding&#x27; a strategy here against someone who just trains an AI model.<p>How does the problem space change in a game such as this where it may be 1v8 opponents vs a 1v1 game such as chess I wonder

This could be appropriately called Snakes on a Plane. Sorry, couldn&#x27;t resist.

Does anyone have a list of competitive programming challenges like this? Specifically where you&#x27;re programming a board game against other algorithms. Googling &quot;competitive programming challenges&quot; doesn&#x27;t yield a lot of good results.<p>I&#x27;m aware of <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fruitbots.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;fruitbots.org&#x2F;</a>, which I had a lot of fun with.

&gt; Battlesnake Tournament March 2, 2019 || Victoria Conference Centre<p>What continent is this in? From the sound of things it&#x27;s in a Commonwealth country but that really doesn&#x27;t narrow it down much ;)

Just curious, what would be the best hosting option for beginners to use for their snake API server?

For those that clicked thinking there be an actual multiplayer snake game over http:<p>slither.io<p>Be warned, this can ruin productivity in your day.
