A Battlesnake Azure Function Starter Project

A Simple Battlesnake written in TypeScript for Azure Functions

This is a basic implimentation of the Battlesnake API based on the official Node.js starter project.

Technologies

• TypeScript
• Azure Functions
• localtunnel (for testing and/or running locally)

Prerequisite

• Battlesnake Account
• Azure Account (get a free one here)

Tooling

• VS Code (other editors are available)
• Azure Tools Extension Pack
• [Optional] REST Book Extension for testing (requires VS Code "Insiders" build)

Running your Battlesnake

Running Locally

Make sure you install the project dependencies if you haven't yet.

npm install

Execute the start script:

npm run start

GET/POST the snake API:

end:    [POST]  http://localhost:7071/api/snake/end
index:  [GET]   http://localhost:7071/api/snake
move:   [POST]  http://localhost:7071/api/snake/move
start:  [POST]  http://localhost:7071/api/snake/start

Create a tunnel to try it out

So, with localtunnel (or ngrok if you'd prefer) you can setup a tunnel to enable you to add your locally running Battlesnake to Battlesnake online.

Execute the tunnel script

npm run tunnel

Once running you'll be given a url. For example:

your url is: https://spotty-fox-64.loca.lt

You can now register your local Battlesnake online by replacing you local address http://localhost:7071 with the url provided by localtunnel. For example:

https://spotty-fox-64.loca.lt/api/snake
