Inspiration
We got inspired by the previous BattleSnakes competition and wanted to try it to improve our skills.
What it does
Our snake uses its smaller size as a strategic advantage. Instead of constantly eating and growing like many other snakes, it only collects food when its health is low. This helps keep the snake smaller, more maneuverable, and better able to avoid dangerous situations on the board.
How we built it
We built it with Rust and ran it using commands cargo build cargo run. We used applications such as VS Code, Docker, and Discord to run each test.
Challenges we ran into
Some challenges that we ran into were getting the snake to run at the beginning. We were also struggling to distribute our skills; at some point of the 24-hour challenge, two or more people were working on the same part of the file, which reduced our efficiency.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are very proud of creating our algorithm. No matter what the outcome of the tournament is, we are proud of what we created.
What we learned
We learned how to use our time efficiently. We also now know that we should be distributing our skills evenly and working better as a group.
What's next for Formula5
We're looking forward to participating in events such as other hackathons and improving our coding and development skills.
