Training Snakes

This is to run several snakes of varying difficulty at https://battlesnake-training-snakes.herokuapp.com/snake_1 https://battlesnake-training-snakes.herokuapp.com/snake_2 https://battlesnake-training-snakes.herokuapp.com/snake_3 ...

Running it

Run the snake server locally:

> ./scripts/run_snake

this should provide all snakes at different paths, i.e.:

• http://localhost:8080/snake_1
• http://localhost:8080/snake_2
• http://localhost:8080/snake_3
• ...

Run the game server locally:

> ./scripts/run_server
