Byte Arena is similar in that you're expected to code agent behaviours to get it in the game.
What's different though:
* we support every programming language that has networking features
* in BA, you define behaviour for a single agent and not for a swarm
* we will support multiple game modes (deathmatch, CTF, speed racing) for agents that'll specialize in these game modes
* the perceptions in BA are very low level, and thus if your actions are within physical contraints, you may do things we have never imagined possible (it's sugarcoated by SDKs wrapping things for you if you don't want/care to make sense of the perceptions yourself)
- rplnt 9y ago> we support every programming language that has networking features If that's the case it should be highlighted in the docs, a short guide would help as well I guess. Just by quickly looking at the docs I assumed it's javascript only. Having example bots in other popular languages would be perfect. People could focus on what's important and don't worry about integration details.
- netgusto 9y agoThanks for the suggestions! > it should be highlighted in the docs, a short guide would help as well I guess I had the feeling these points were adressed already in [1]; are you thinking about something more prominent in the documentation ? > having example bots in other popular languages would be perfect You're right; we're definitely going to focus on this [1] https://doc.bytearena.com/#getting-started-guides-getting-started https://doc.bytearena.com/#getting-started-guides-getting-st...
- rplnt 9y agoYou are right, I missed that, sorry about that. After quickly skimming through the main page I went to getting started, skipped first paragraph where it's written AGAIN and red just this https://doc.bytearena.com/guides/getting-started/#prerequisites https://doc.bytearena.com/guides/getting-started/#prerequisi... :)
