GridWars

Program the mighty Viking warriors of Valhalla.

Warriors start with 2 HP and 1 attack power (AP). This value is increased by 2/1 for every level they gain. Levels are gained by killing other warriors. Required number of kills per new level is 2^(lvl-1).

Valid actions are: move, attack, heal. Heal will restore HP equivalent to the warrior's AP. Move and attack require a valid direction in 2D.

All warriors are mentally aware of the entire map and all other warriors (Psionic powers).

Game rounds occur every 10s at which time all warriors execute their stored actions. Your AI needs to issue a command over the network during this time or your warrior will do nothing.

Seize the glory and rise to the highest kill value.

System capabilities

POST /controller

• body: {name:'someName'}
• response: {name:'someName',level:1, health:2, kills:0, position:{x:0,y:0}, id:'someId'}

PUT /controller

• body: {id:'someId', action:{order:'move', position:{x:0,:y:0}}}
• response: {name:'someName',level:1, health:2, kills:0, position:{x:0,y:0}, id:'someId', action:{order:'move', position:{x:0,:y:0}}}

Actions:

• Heal - {order:'heal'}
• Stop - {order:'stop'}
• Move - {order:'move', position:{x:0,:y:0}}
• Attack - {order:'attack', position:{x:0,:y:0}}

An actions position represents the target coordinates relative to your position. Values less than -1 and above 1 are disregarded.

• position:{x:0,:y:0} - you
• position:{x:1,:y:0} - right
• position:{x:-1,:y:0} - left

GET /controller Gives list of all Vikings without respective ids - effectively the game map.

Socket io events are emitted for new Vikings and for game ticks.
