This is a base version of the game. The development continues here.

А simple programming game. You write Python scripts to control your bot in a roguelike (or Dandy-like) world. The goal is to collect as much gold as possible in the presence of other bots.

The game uses only the Python standard library. Graphics assets are taken from here.

See random_bot.py and user_bot.py for API examples.
