battlesnake.com is a fun way to pit your programming skills against other developers, by implementing your own player in an online version of the classic snake video game.

The battlesnake gem provides classes and helper methods to speed development. Simple mathematical mapping methods are available so you can focus on coding your strategy, rather than re-inventing the wheel.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'battlesnake'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install battlesnake

Examples coming soon. For now, view our documentation.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
