Teach software engineers the importance of algorithm efficiency in a 1-on-1 strategic game environment setting

Technical Requirements

• Javascript
• Data Structures / Algorithm
• Mechanics of webcrawlers
• Hash / Cryptography

Winning Objective

• First player that captures the opponent's home base wins

Game Rules

• Player Interaction
  • Implement a Javascript algorithm strategy that eithers:
    1. Locates and capture the opponent's base
    2. Protect homebase or acquired nodes
• Actions Permitted
  • Assign observer unit's movement and direction (at each encountered node)
  • Assign miner unit's destination to attack(unclaimed) or defend(claimed) nodes
• Action Constraints
  • Actions are constrained by the amount of resources available at that point in time
• Resources Generation
  • A fixed amount of resources are generated by homebase per interval
