BattleSnake “HeadHunter” update

 

So i’m entering the battlefield…

After testing solo mode a lot. I added new logic to dodge possible head-to-heads with bigger snakes.
With my longest path mode enabled, i even had some fights where i just won because i was the last snake alive…

 

But i could’ve ended the game earlier…. how?

By going in for the kill…

 

I’ve added new logic to my snake to be more agressive… let’s see how it plays out in BattleSnake!

 

I’m going in for the kill 😀

My BattleSnake.io debut next week

Hello all!

 

I didn’t write a post for a long long time, but here goes…

I’m competing in the Battlesnake 2019 Winter Classic!
We are taking Battlesnake tournaments into the cyber-streams with the Battlesnake Winter Classic! This will be a three tournament series running over November and December that will have snakes battling it out for the title of Winter Classic Champion.

 

Dutch Viper!

I mainly program in PHP professionally. This was a great opportunity to try something new… so my snake is written in Golang.

I’ll enter the rookie bracket, since it’s the first time I’ll compete (My snake wasn’t ready for the battle last year…)

 

Wish me luck

When does it happen?

 

 

My First Tournament Ever! – Saturday, November 16th @3:00 pm PST.
