I haven't tried this yet, but based on similar challenges I've participated I'm surprised by the fact that your bot moves by calling an http endpoint. Considering the 1 second move limit, I image it's difficult to time y

Some interesting ideas here. The full write-up of the 5 scenarios[0] is 120+ pages. People have explored some of these ideas through SciFi before, but having this done in an official report throws a different light on the matter. [0] https

Derivco uses extremely underhand tactics to promote their image as a tech and game dev company that is pushing boundaries and building exciting things. Actually all they do is build small variants of the same online gambling games using a M
