This code won a **2nd place in the final round in the advanced category of Battlesnake 2017**\n\n\n###The files\nThe two files here are a **parcel** file (Battlesnake Bundle.pcl) and a **source** (Battlesnake Bundle.pst) of the code written for the annual battlesnake code competition held in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Check out [battlesnake web site](http://battlesnake.io) for details about the competition.\nThe code here is exactly as run in the competition, for a snake named Medusa. A lot of it was written in a bit of a hurry, so it may not be commented up to the usual standards.\n\n###How to read the code:\nYou can read the **Battlesnake Bundle.pst** file but it's meant for a computer consumption, not really for humans. The **Battlesnake Bundle.pcl** file is the Smalltalk binary code. The two files are two different representations of the same thing. To be able to browse all the code, you will need a **VisualWorks 8.2 IDE**. A Personal Use License can be obtained at no cost from [Cincom Smalltalk web site](http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/main/developer-community/trying-cincom-smalltalk/try-cincom-smalltalk/). VisualWorks is a cross-platform application development environment that runs on all major operating systems and CPU architecture - yes, even on a Raspberry Pi.\nOnce installed, and the IDE is up and running, you can load the **Battlesnake Bundle.pcl** parcel file to browse through the code and see the strategies and the algorithms used in the competition.\n\n###Can I run the code?\nWell... you can run some of the unit tests to see the API in action. However, you won't be able to run an **actual game**, as that would require registration and login through the [battlensake game server](http://app.battlesnake.io) which I think cannot be done outside of the actual competition.\n\n**Happy Browsing!**\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FJerryKott%2FBattlesnake2017","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FJerryKott%2FBattlesnake2017","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FJerryKott%2FBattlesnake2017/lists"}
