Snake like on the Nokia 3310! But this time you program your own Battlesnake and let it make decisions on it’s own to beat each level.
I participated in a Battlesnake workshop during EMF 2022, and it struck me as a simple and fun way to learn some logical thinking. After the workshop, I continued to build my Battlesnake to achieve more levels. It is kind of addictive (in a good way)! This EMF I will pay forward what I learned: the battle continues!
In this workshop, we will follow the instructions that Battlesnake provides on their website; setting up your server and building your very own snake. Doing it together and see if your result matches that of other participants is a fun way to get started with this.
If we have time, we’ll also build Battlesnake on the EMF Tildagon badge! Find the details in the “App Store”
We may organise a tournament the next day to give people a chance to try out their Battlesnakes against each other.
