Welcome to Kumite

This project develops a platform to enable algorithms to compete against each others.

Architecture

The main component is the contest-server, which is a essentially back-end offering an API.

The contest-server embeds a vue-js application, which can be used to: - get a refresh_token (which is the secret authenticating bots) - browse through games and contests.

How to develop your own bot

Typical gaming loop

A normal gaming loop is the following:

1. Loop through games matching your criteria
2. For each matching games, loop through contests matching your criteria
3. For each contest, join as a playing-player/contender.
4. Submit moves, or wait until its your turn.
5. Repeat step4 until the game is over or you're fine with your score

Game categories

Games are tagged to help categorizing them. Main tags are:

• optimization: optimization games are solo games, with as goal the submission of the best solution.
• 1v1: Exactly 2 players compete one against the other.
• turn-based: Each player plays one after the other. These could be played at slow pace. They might be rules to limit the duration of each player turn.
• real-time: The board state evolve through time, even if players do not submit any move.
