Drive-by

Keep driving and shoot sideways.

BotWars is a programming game. You write one Python class; every tick it steers a tank, sweeps a radar, aims a turret and fires. Then you watch your bot fight other bots in a real-time arena, and replay any tick to see why it won or lost. Everything runs in your browser: no install, no account.

• Workbench: write your bot, run it against an opponent, replay every tick.
• Battleground: showdowns and round-robin tournaments, on the big screen.
• Hall of Fame: every bot's record across all your tournaments.
• Lessons: learn to write a bot, one idea at a time, with goals and hints.

A first bot

from botwars import Bot


class MyBot(Bot):
    def on_tick(self, me, enemies):
        self.forward(8)               # drive at full speed
        self.turn_radar(45)           # sweep the radar
        if enemies:
            self.aim_at(enemies[0])   # point the turret at the first enemy seen
            self.fire(2)
