Python-Snake

A Battlesnake AI written in Python 3, based off the python-starter-snake.

This AI client uses the bottle web framework to serve requests and the gunicorn web server for running bottle on Heroku. Dependencies are listed in requirements.txt.

You will need...

• a working Python 3.7 development environment (getting started guide)
• experience deploying Python apps to Heroku
• pip to install Python dependencies

Running the Snake Locally

1. Fork this repo.

2. Clone repo to your development environment:

git clone [email protected]:username/battlesnake-python.git

3. Install dependencies using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run unit tests

pip install -r requirements.dev.txt
pytest

5. Run local server:

python app/main.py

5. Test client in your browser: http://localhost:8080.

Deploying to Heroku

1. Create a new Heroku app:

heroku create [APP_NAME]

2. Deploy code to Heroku servers:

git push heroku master

3. Open Heroku app in browser:

heroku open

or visit http://APP_NAME.herokuapp.com.

4. View server logs with the heroku logs command:

heroku logs --tail

Other notes:

• To get a local environment going, ensure you've got both the snake AND the engine going.

from docs:

http://docs.battlesnake.io/zero-to-snake-linux.html

#start engine cd ~/dev/battlesnake-2019/battlesnake-engine/ ./engine dev

#start snake cd ~/dev/battlesnake-2019/python-snake #python3 app/main.py gunicorn app.main:app #or for with console output PYTHONPATH=./ python app/main.py

• If the pytests are breaking and complaining about not being able to find the conftest.py file, delete the compiled python files in the projectsfind ''' . -name *.pyc -delete '''
