battlesnake-node(js)

Snake AI for battlesnake 2015 by team SNAKENADO:

  • @Rebeckky Artwork and Conceptual Design

  • @BrodyHolden Programming and Conceptual Design

A simple BattleSnake AI written in Javascript for NodeJS (though you could probably use iojs).

To get started you'll need a working NodeJS development environment, and at least read the Heroku docs on deploying a NodeJS app.

If you haven't setup a NodeJS development environment before, read how to get started with NodeJS. You'll also need npm for easy JS dependency management.

This client uses Express4 for easy route management, read up on the docs to learn more about reading incoming JSON params, writing responses, etc.
