Arena

A little coding game. Just starting out, not playable yet.

Local

docker run -u 1000 --rm -it \
  --entrypoint /bin/bash \
  -v "$(pwd)":/app -w /app \
  node:20.9.0
npm i
npm run watch

docker-compose up -d

Todo

• Draw a drone in a play area.
• Use sandboxed function to control.
• Play area wrapping.
• Provide (limited) game state to sandbox.
• Visual representation of current output state.
• Visual for input state.

Ideas

• Agents should have access to memory which persists between frames. Block access to window and other things that'd normally persist, so we can do replay.

• Would it be worthwhile to have multiple <iframe>, one for each drone?

• Classic toroidal space wrap.

• Peaceful mode, encouraging choreography.

• More than 1v1. Teams?

• SpaceWar style star with gravity.

• Utility functions for vector maths.

• Introduction challenges.
