Visit [battlesnake.io/readme](http://battlesnake.io/readme) for API documentation and instructions for running your AI.
This AI client uses the [bottle web framework](http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/index.html) to serve requests and the [gunicorn web server](http://gunicorn.org/) for running bottle on Heroku. Dependencies are listed in [requirements.txt](requirements.txt).
[](https://heroku.com/deploy)
#### You will need...
* a working Python 2.7 development environment ([getting started guide](http://hackercodex.com/guide/python-development-environment-on-mac-osx/))
* experience [deploying Python apps to Heroku](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python#introduction)
* [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html) to install Python dependencies
## Running the Snake Locally
1) [Fork this repo](https://github.com/sendwithus/battlesnake-python/fork).
2) Clone repo to your development environment:
```
git clone [email protected]:username/battlesnake-python.git
```
3) Install dependencies using [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html):
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
4) Run local server:
```
