# bobby witt

[Bobby Witt](https://play.battlesnake.com/u/tphummel/bobby-witt/) is my second [battlesnake](https://play.battlesnake.com). (below: light pink with rattler tail)

[![Alt text](/bobby-witt.gif)](https://play.battlesnake.com/g/81bdbe58-0229-49f4-9ef1-cf870b2fc616/)

## "Features"

- Will avoid the wall if possible.

- Will avoid snakes' current position if possible.

- Will avoid going head to head with a snake. 

- Will look one move ahead to avoid danger. 

- Will avoid hazard sauce. 

- Will eat adjacent food if safe. 

## Notable things

- Battlesnake is super cool.

- I [deployed](https://bobby-witt-battlesnake.tomhummel.com) this snake using [Cloudflare Workers](https://workers.cloudflare.com/)

- I wrote [unit tests](/test.js) for various scenarios the snake may find itself in and what I expect it to do (or not do)

- I added the ability to [run the snake locally](/local.js) with node.js. It is very close to the same code which runs in cloudflare.

## Usage

run locally:

```

DEBUG=1 node local.js

```

curl example:

```

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \

  --request POST \

  --data '{"game":{"id":"f59488b9-b159-45b0-ae2e-221648b1aa58","timeout":500},"turn":35,"board":{"height":11,"width":11,"food":[{"x":10,"y":4},{"x":5,"y":5},{"x":4,"y":4},{"x":2,"y":5},{"x":6,"y":2},{"x":4,"y":2},{"x":4,"y":0},{"x":6,"y":6}],"hazards":[],"snakes":[{"id":"acb1e234-918c-421c-9a48-84f254fcf8bd","name":"acb1e234-918c-421c-9a48-84f254fcf8bd","health":66,"body":[{"x":1,"y":9},{"x":1,"y":8},{"x":1,"y":7}],"latency":0,"head":{"x":1,"y":9},"length":3,"shout":"","squad":""}]},"you":{"id":"acb1e234-918c-421c-9a48-84f254fcf8bd","name":"acb1e234-918c-421c-9a48-84f254fcf8bd","health":66,"body":[{"x":1,"y":9},{"x":1,"y":8},{"x":1,"y":7}],"latency":0,"head":{"x":1,"y":9},"length":3,"shout":"","squad":""}}' \
