Rusty is a battle snake built with Rocket, a rust web developement framework.

The project was recently updated with version 1.0 of battlesnake.

If you just want to use this as the starter snake run this command in the directory.

git checkout template

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

In order to use and develope Rusty your going to need a few things:

1. Rust
2. A very basic understanding of the web
3. A understanding of the game this bot is trying to play

Once your done with the basics copy and paste the command below into your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/McRaeAlex/RustySnake.git

Then

cd RustySnake
git checkout template
cargo run

You should see something like this

Configured for development.
    => address: localhost
    => port: 8000
    => log: normal
    => workers: 8
    => secret key: generated
    => limits: forms = 32KiB
    => tls: disabled
🛰  Mounting '/':
    => GET /
    => POST /start
🚀  Rocket has launched from http://localhost:8000

if you don't and it gives you errors saying missing features or something about nightly, run:

rustup default nightly

to switch your default toolchain to nightly

to install nightly

rustup install nightly

To push it to your own repo

git push -u <your repo>

And your done!

Using the package manager bundled with rust run:

cargo test
