My super naive #battlesnake from #CascadiaPHP is currently ranked 88 in the world. Really looking forward to polishing it for #phptek ;-)

My interview with @bvanvugt@twitter.com is out where we discuss #battlesnake . It was a really fun conversation and then it got weird when there was a tournament @cascadiaphp this year. -)

I shouldn’t be doing this, but I just can’t help it. I’ve made a #BattleSnake it only goes up right now, but maybe I will teach it to be smarter. I should be doing more productive things, but this is so fun

I had to duck out early from #phptek for work stuff, but I'm hoping I have more uninterrupted time tomorrow. Also hoping I can whip together a #battlesnake for the evening activities :-)

Battlesnake were so much fun last Saturday night. Metal madness with brilliant theatrics.

Imagine the lovechild of Queen, Tenacious D, Judas Priest and Gwar. Got that? Meet Battlesnake.

Writing some real-world use-case code and the patterns and logic are basically #battlesnake

Typescript in the streets
Rust in the sheets

Started work on building a #Battlesnake in Rust. I've already sketched out the main building blocks and have a working flood fill algorithm. I'm thinking of taking another crack at breadth first search (if I can wrap head around recursive generics).

I'm also curious to abuse the u128 as a bit board, but I gotta get the thing working before I optimize.

Registration is now open for the #Battlesnake fall league: https://blog.battlesnake.com/fall-league-registration-is-open/

For those who don't know, it's a competitive programming challenge where you create a webserver that plays a multiplayer version of the classic game "snake". It's a lot of fun and you can use whatever tech you want.

This season I'm working on a snake built with #golang that builds a lookahead behavior tree to find the best move each turn. The snake's name? Stacy's Mamba

In the effort to be (somewhat) competitive in #Battlesnake fall league, I've decided to take the dive into AI algorithms. No more chains of IF statements for me!

At the moment I'm working on building out a minimax behavior tree, but I've yet to decide on a heuristic function.

Working in #golang has really helped

I think we just launched the first ever developer... esports team...?

These players are directly sponsored by @digitalocean@twitter.com to play #Battlesnake competitively

I've been off-and-on working on a #Battlesnake that I entered into the spring competitive league.

Snake Gyllenhaal

It wasn't very successful initially, but now I got:
- snake avoidance (including wrapped snakes)
- preference against hazards
- preference against potential head to head collisions with bigger snakes (again, factoring in wrapped mode)

Now I've gotta pick a high-level strategy: hungry snake (astar algorithm), shy guy (flood fill algorithm), chaos snake (as-is).

Have y'all seen #Battlesnake

You create a server that accepts HTTP requests to control a snake and the you BATTLE WITH IT!!

I just spent several hours making a (very dumb) snake in Python (cause what else would I code it in?)
