Battlesnake Game Types

• docs

A crate to represent game types in the game of battlesnake

Usage

The most common usage is decoding and encoding wire representation data:

use battlesnake_game_types::wire_representation::Game;
let g: Result<Game, _> = serde_json::from_slice(&body);

There are other useful tools that you can find better documented in the crate docs

lib.rs:

Types for working with battlesnake. The goal is to provide simulation tooling and fast representations that enable development of efficient minmax/MCTS. you will likely be most interested in the CellBoard type which implements all the traits necessary for minmax/MCTS and is much faster than using the wire representation, in our benchmarks, we see that our compact representation is on the order of about 33% faster for simulation than the wire representation.
