This is a WebAssembly port of the Battlesnake rules.

The goal is to enable executing Battlesnake game rules in environments such as web browsers, Node.js, and Electron.

This project is experimental and your milage may vary.

• Standard
• Solo
• Constrictor
• Squad
• Royale

• Poor memory management
• Large WASM binary size
• Use of Go's syscall/js which is also marked as experimental
• Lack of automated tests

Contributions welcome!

• Go 1.15
• GNU Make (Optional)

If GNU Make is available:

make

If GNU Make is not available, read Makefile to know how to build without it.

After compiling, copy the files in /dist to your project, including main.wasm and wasm_exec.js, so that you can instantiate it using WebAssembly. See examples/index.html for a basic example.

After it is loaded, a window.BattlesnakeRules or global.BattlesnakeRules will be set which is an object containing the exported functions. Typically the global will be scoped to window in browsers, or global in environments such as Node.js and Electron.

All functions require a single argument, which is expected to be a JSON-encoded string. The JSON fields are interpreted as options for each function.

Likewise, the return value will be a JSON-encoded string in the case of success, or null in the case of an error.

See examples/index.html for some examples of the option signature for each available function. That example page also loads main.wasm file if you have compiled it, which means you can try out those functions straight from that page using your browser's JavaScript console.

Documentation is currently sparse, so you may need to read the source code of main.go and possibly even the types defined upstream in the BattlesnakeOfficial/rules source code.

If you have any questions, or just wish to geek out and chat about Battlesnake feel free to reach out!

If you're using this library for a project, I'd love to hear about it.
