Welcome to Battlesnake, a multiplayer programming game played by developers all over the world. |
Developers of all skill levels use Battlesnake to learn new technologies, improve their programming skills, and have fun with friends, family, and colleagues.
Battlesnake is an autonomous survival game. Each Battlesnake is controlled by a live web server and the code you write. It moves independently attempting to find food, avoid other Battlesnakes, and stay alive as long as possible.
Anyone can play Battlesnake, either by training with the solo Challenges, Battlegrounds, or by competing in online League Tournaments. Success at the highest level requires creativity, unique strategies, and excellent programming.
Our mission is to make it fun and accessible for anyone to become a better programmer.
Solo Challenges: Challenges are the “single-player campaign” of Battlesnake. It’s just you and a problem that needs solving. They're a great way to test and build up your skills. See guide.
The Battlegrounds: A monthly cycling competition for testing your skills against other developers. Throw your Battlesnakes into ladders, each with unique modes. Matches run between a set time each day, allowing you to make tweaks to your code between matches. See guide.****
Compete in Leagues: Leagues are limited-time competitions where the best of the best compete for title, prizes, and prestige! They’re only held 4 times a year and the finals are streamed live on Twitch. Has your Battlesnake got what it takes? See guide.
