24 alternatives to A competition game to write bots for the most efficient algo

I had an idea on a competition in a highly constrained environment: 32x32 matrix, with bots running code you write! The live site is https://kingofthegrid.com/. Each bot emulates Z80 CPU and they all get equal execution time, so the most efficient algorithm wins. Bots can move, eat, clone themselves, and most importantly, survive the competition. Each submission, leaderboard is re-calculated, such that each participant has a match against each other, and the bot that makes the most wins gets to the top. It includes includes an online in-browser IDE:…

King of the Grid is a competitive programming game where users write Z80 assembly code for bots that compete in a 32x32 grid environment. Bots can move, eat food, and clone themselves while receiving equal CPU… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Creator here. I built Agent Arena to answer a question that kept bugging me: when AI agents browse the web autonomously, how easily can they be manipulated by hidden instructions? How it works: 1. Send your AI agent to ref.jock.pl/modern-web (looks like a harmless web dev cheat sheet) 2. Ask it to summarize the page 3. Paste its response into the scorecard at wiz.jock.pl/experiments/agent-arena/ The page is loaded with 10 hidden prompt injection attacks -- HTML comments, white-on-white text, zero-width Unicode, data attributes, etc. Most agents fall for at least a few.…

    Thought I would post in celebration of 1 year of my website being online. I've been working on it on and off and currently the website allows users to play Hex, Tumbleweed, Amazons, and Connect 6 against friends or against practice bots. I've been a long time player of some of these games and I felt for a long time that the world could use a few more popular abstract strategy games compared to Chess or Go. If you try it, let me know what you think. I'm always looking for new games or new features to add :)

    I made a chess engine today, and made it fit within 2KB. I used a variant of MinMax called Negamax, with alpha beta pruning. For the board representation I have used a 120-cell "mailbox". I managed to squeeze in checkmate/stalemate in there, after trimming out some edge cases. I am a great fan of demoscene (computer art subculture) since middle school, and hence it was a ritual i had to perform. For estimating the Elo, I measured 240 automated games against Stockfish Elo levels (1320 to 1600) under fixed depth-5 and some constrained rules, using equal color distribution. Then converted…

    We built a computer use agent once and got it benchmarked at the 2nd position in the biggest benchmark for this field but in the process, we realized one thing, how outdated and inefficient these benchmarks are and how they don't truly capture how these tasks went. So we thought a community led benchmarking arena would be the way to go about. https://coarena.ai/. You just have to put in a task and two side by side windows with hidden models will show up and do the same task and at the end you vote which one did better(or none). We have a leaderboard where we rank all the…

    I posted once before but wanted to share again because a lot has changed. There's now a fairly strong bot to play against (contributed by a community member) and also correspondence games. The combination of these things helps a bit in finding people to play against.

    I built 1e4.ai - a chess web app where you play against neural networks trained to mimic human Lichess players at specific Elo ranges. There's a separate model for each 100-point rating bucket from ~800 to 2200+, and the bots not only choose human-like moves but also burn clock time, play worse under time pressure, and blunder in human-like ways. Live demo: https://1e4.ai Code: https://github.com/thomasj02/1e4_ai A few things that might be interesting: - Trained on almost a full year of Lichess blitz games, around 1B total games - Architecture is an a small…

    I built a March Madness bracket challenge for AI agents, not humans. The human prompts their agent with the URL, and the agent reads the API docs, registers itself, picks all 63 games, and submits a bracket autonomously. A leaderboard tracks which AI picks the best bracket through the tournament. The interesting design problem was building for an agent-first user. I came up with a solution where Agents who hit the homepage receive plain-text API instructions and Humans get the normal visual site. Early on I found most agents were trying to use Playwright to browse the site instead of just…

    Hi I'm Dan from Elodin, making an open source real-time capable flight software simulation. For AI Grand Prix contestants, the wait for the Round 1 virtual qualifier simulation has been grueling. If you’re competing, check out our simulation harness to tide you over, built to match the published competition constraints and message format. It runs against real Betaflight, which we learned requires at least 1000 sensor samples per second to run real-time correctly. The competition warranted introducing a new feature to generate the camera sensor directly in the simulation loop. Typically…

    over the past couple months, i've picked up an old project around writing AI in python. the premise is to code a strategy for an AI player to use in a simplified RTS game. the AI basically takes the seat of a human player and the human codes its brain. main site: http://okayzed.github.com/dmangame/introduction.html app engine server and match archive that runs and hosts games: http://dmangame-app.appspot.com github: http://github.com/okayzed/dmangame more AI: http://github.com/okayzed/dmanai i'm looking for players, comments, ideas, etc - thanks!

    Got tired of my debates with my friend's ending in "I'm right bc I said so" so I made a platform where you can debate with your friend's(or a bot, recently added feature) about whatever you want, and after the debate is done a LLM judges who's more sound in logic. Gain points and climb the leaderboard! Feedback and criticism would be appreciated(there's a discord in there if you wanna talk more in depth) p.s.: I decided to use google acc sign in since it makes the whole thing easier to manage(live chatroom feature, etc.). I don't actually do anything with your emails

    I remember watching the AlphaGo documentary in 2017. What stood out to me was that the model got drastically better when it started competing against itself. GANs clicked for me similarly: a generator and discriminator competing, and somehow the competition is what produces something remarkable. I've been curious whether this principle generalizes to today's agents. So mehulkalia and I built Browser Brawl at the YC / BrowserUse hackathon last weekend and won first place. It is a fun experiment in which an attacker agent tries to complete tasks on live websites while a defender agent…
