TankMaze

A strategic programming game

Somewhere in the labyrinth, an enemy tank is moving. You don't know where — only that your sensors just spiked and you have one tick to decide: advance, turn, fire, or wait for better data.

You don't drive a tank. You code one. Write the autonomous brain that drives your tank in Go, submit it, and watch your creation navigate fog-of-war, enemy contact, and the limits of its own hardware — without you.

What you can do

• Brain — implement a Tick(sensors) Action function. It runs every 100 ms. Package-level variables are your tank's memory.
• Loadout — distribute 15 points across speed, sensor range, damage, armor, and fire rate. Every build is a trade-off.
• Game Days — round-robin groups of 8 followed by single-elimination. Placement awards global ranking points. Browse Game Days.
• Replay — every match recorded tick-by-tick. Replay at any speed, inspect sensor readings, memory, and console output.
