  Hunger Games




A simulation of a game with random fighting like Hunger Games



> **Note:** I made this for a school assignment, but decided to put it here because it was cool enough :)



## How to run



1. Install bun: 

   * can be inside wsl

2. Install dependencies: `bun install`

3. Run game `bun run start:game`

   * `bun run start:game --print-map` can print the map to the console

4. Build website `bun run build:website`

5. Go to `./apps/visualization/out` to use the static html



## How it works



### [The game](./apps/game)



This is the effectively a way dumber down version of Hunger Games, but this is trying to just let the computer use random to fight in an arena. I had intended for this to be more amazing but ran out of time to actually implement cool things.



**General Info:**



* Make large amount of people for all 12 districts

* Get some people to fight in district

  * Currently 10 per district (and at min ~25% split of sex)

* Make it turn based

* Players can move in grid to fight or hide

* Map kind of inspired by civilisation games



**The Map:**



* Turns go until only one district is remaining

* Can do many actions (will discuss below)

* Player’s move around the board doing their action

* Point of game is to eliminate all other players (as long as they are not your teammate)



**The Actions:**



* **Move** is for going to random place without player

* **Fight** is finding the closest player with least health

* **Nothing** shouldn’t be used

* **Hide** makes it harder for other players to see them – lower chance of  going on that tile (for both fight or move)

* **Loot** is finding lootbox



**_"Genetic Algorithm":_**



* This works by finding the best player for each district and “copying” its stat

* The next year’s players uses that but +/- a bit

* Every year the amount of change is reduced

And thus the players learn from previous participants



*Can view latest simulation: *



### [The visualization](./apps/visualization)



**Shows some data from the game:**



* Age distribution grouped by district

* The 4 changeable actions on columns coloured by districts

* Population per year by district – population/deaths/births

* The top person leaderboard for all years (ie 11th)



*Can view the latest graphs: *



## Future goals



* Try and make this an actually playable game and not just a simulation

* Add items to make the game more interesting (ie bow and arrow)

* Give districts their own unique bonuses
