Why should humans have all the fun?

gaimbot is a platform that hosts games designed to be played by bots. Imagine writing a program to play chess, Monopoly, or Settlers of Catan. But not only that.. bots open the door to a whole new realm of games like routing a network of drivers to grow a food delivery service or directing a fleet of drones to destroy an adversary.

Implementing a gaimbot

...is so simple, you can do it with just a few lines of code.

PythonR

import time, random, requests

# Start a new game
game_url = 'https://api.gaimbot.com/games/gold-retriever'
game = requests.post(f'{game_url}/new').json()

# Game loop
while game['digs_remaining'] > 0:

    # Pause for a bit, to prevent overloading the server!
    time.sleep(0.5)

    # Decide where to dig for gold
    dig_loc = random.randint(0, 900)

    # Tell the game server where to dig. Update game with the server's response.
    game = requests.post(f'{game_url}/{game["id"]}/dig', params={'cell': dig_loc}).json()

    # Print the game status
    print(game['message'])

library(httr)

# Start a new game
game_url <- 'https://api.gaimbot.com/games/gold-retriever'
game <- content(POST(paste0(game_url, "/new")), as = "parsed")

# Game loop
while(game$digs_remaining > 0){

  # Pause for a bit, to prevent overloading the server!
  Sys.sleep(0.5)

  # Decide where to dig for gold
  dig_loc = sample(x = 900, size = 1) - 1

  # Tell the game server where to dig. Update game with the server's response.
  game <- content(POST(
    url = paste0(game_url, "/", game$id, "/dig"), 
    query = list(cell = dig_loc)
  ), as = "parsed")

  # Print the game status
  print(game$message)
}
