Starter Kit

Halite III starter kit components

Run run_game.bat (Windows) and run_game.sh (MacOS, Linux) to run a game of Halite III. By default, these scripts run a game of your MyBot.py bot vs. itself. You can modify the board size, map seed, and the opponents of test games using the CLI.

The Halite executable comes with a command line interface (CLI). Run $ ./halite --help to see a full listing of available flags.

Your bot has 10 minutes to install dependencies and compile on the game server.
You can run custom commands to set up your bot by including an install.sh file alongside MyBot.{ext}. This file will be executed and should be a Bash shell script. You must include the shebang line at the top: #!/bin/bash.
- For Python, you may install packages using pip, but you may not install to the global package directory. Instead, install packages as follows: python3.6 -m pip install --system --target . numpy
Some languages don't use the MyBot.{ext} convention. Exceptions include:
- Rust: a Cargo.toml in the root will be detected as Rust. Your bot will compile with cargo rustc.
- Swift: a Package.swift in the root will be detected as Swift. Your bot will compile with swift build.
- Haskell: You may upload a MyBot.hs, or you may upload a stack.yaml, in which case your bot will compile with stack build.
- Elixir: Upload a mix.exs. Your bot will compile with mix deps.get followed by mix escript.build.
- Clojure: Upload a project.clj. Your bot will compile with lein uberjar.
- .NET: Upload a MyBot.csproj or MyBot.fsproj. Your bot will compile with dotnet restore followed with dotnet build.
