Does anyone have a list of competitive programming challenges like this? Specifically where you're programming a board game against other algorithms. Googling "competitive programming challenges" doesn't yield a lot of good results. I'm aware of http://fruitbots.org/ http://fruitbots.org/, which I had a lot of fun with.

Scalatron[0] is a fun one. There's also screeps[1] available on steam. Screeps is probably my favorite because it supports webassembly. So you can use any language with it, like Rust, C++, etc...

I know https://leekwars.com/ https://leekwars.com/ and have seen a couple others coming by, both on HN and played by my friends, but I haven't seen such a list. There also seems to be a few interesting single player ones, like ruby-warrior. I found the following while browsing AlternativeTo, it might be nice to fill in the others as well: https://codecombat.com/ https://codecombat.com/, https://robocode.sourceforge.io/ https://robocode.sourceforge.io/,

BotLand is a blast (can write your own scripts or use built in options to get started without coding). There are also related developer streams on Twitch most days if you're into pulling back the curtain. https://bot.land/ https://bot.land/

Vindinium[1] is another fun one. It looks like the original game service is now offline but the server code is open source. [1]: https://github.com/ornicar/vindinium https://github.com/ornicar/vindinium

There is the old (very old) classic, Corewar [1]. I enjoyed playing Robowar[2] back in the day. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_War [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboWar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboWar
