Snake Examples

Kotlin

Java

Clone your own snake

Use the Battlesnake Template to clone the code for your own snake.

Snake Execution

A server can support running multiple snakes, but they must be the same snake object type.

Assign the mainName variable in build.gradle to the desired fully qualified snake classname. For example:

def mainName = 'io.battlesnake.examples.kotlin.PerimeterSnakeWithLists'

You can run a snake with a script or as an uberjar:

  • Build and run the script build/install/battlesnake-examples/bin/snake with: make script.

  • Build and run the uberjar build/libs/snake.jar with: make uber.

Deployment Options

  1. Run localtunnel with: lt --port 8080

  2. Use the URL returned as your snake URL.

You can also use ngrok, but unpaid users may experience "429 Too Many Requests" errors, which will cause your snake to move UP.
