Can someone explain how the game is played? I select a team, I commit a direction in my act file and the game picks it up. But then what? In the players file there is x and y. How does it relate to the map? How can I find where I am on the map? How does the coloring happen?

Edit: Understood. It is like snake. What happens when you crash on the wall though?



View the 'log' file and you can see how the game handles various "edge" cases. If you try to move off the edge of the map the move just gets turned into a noop. Likewise if you try to crash into another bot.


But how do you win? With players from other teams on the map, there is no way you can achieve the stated win condition:

As many tiles as possible.
