Bomberjam is an artificial intelligence programming challenge.

Bomberjam

Bomberjam is now live 🎉: https://bomberjam.anthonysimmon.com

Bomberjam is an online artificial intelligence programming challenge. Write your bot using one of six languages (C#, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python and PHP) and fight against other players to reach the first place in the leaderboard.

Players control a bot using the programming language of their choice. Four bots fight in a 2D grid. The bot with the highest score wins. One player can get points by destroying blocks, hitting another player and being the last player alive.

• Sign in with your GitHub account
• Download the latest starter kit on GitHub
• Learn the game mechanics and write your bot
• Upload your bot source code as a single zip file
• We will compile your bot and tell you if something went wrong
• We will periodically schedule games and update your score

Local development setup

Website configuration

Check appsettings.json for required parameters. They can be set as environment variables too:

• GitHub__ClientId: GitHub OAuth app client ID that redirects to https://localhost:5001/signin-github-callback
• GitHub__ClientSecret: GitHub OAuth app client secret that redirects to https://localhost:5001/signin-github-callback
• GitHub__Administrators: Comma-separated list of GitHub ID administrators
• SecretAuth__Secret: A secret token that will be used by the worker to communicate with the website API
• ConnectionStrings__BomberjamContext: SQL Server database connection string
• ConnectionStrings__BomberjamStorage: Azure Storage connection string, used for bots and game replays storage

Use Azure Storage Emulator and SQL Local DB for lightweight alternatives to Azure Storage and SQL Server.

SQL Local DB

Creating the database with initial data is a one time thing:

cd <checkoutDirectory>\website\Bomberjam.Website
SqlLocalDB.exe create bomberjam
SqlLocalDB.exe start bomberjam
dotnet ef database update

Once you've done that, just start the database when you need it: SqlLocalDB.exe start bomberjam

Azure Storage Emulator

Just start the emulator and use UseDevelopmentStorage=true as connection string.

Worker Docker configuration

Building the image:

cd <project root path>
docker build --tag asimmon/bomberjam-worker:latest -f worker.Dockerfile .

The worker Docker container requires specific environment variables to communicate with the Bomberjam API. Also, privileged access is required by iptables and control groups.

Use the included docker-compose.yml to start a worker configured to work with a local hosted website.

Go support

Nice project! I would like to give it a try with a bot written in Go. I think Go is quite a popular language for AI and it would be nice to see support for it on this project.

Downloads not available because pipeline run too old

I don't know if downloading from pipeline artifacts is the right way because right now GitHub doesn't let me.

From the overview page it says that all three artifacts are expired. They're also not clickable in any way.

And when I select one on the left or in the box, it says more verbosely: “The logs for this run have expired and are no longer available.”
