This code allows you to run a local tournament ranking bots you provide by the Trueskill or ELO ranking algorithm (somewhat similar to the current Kaggle leaderboard ranking system)
Ensure you have NodeJS version 12.x or above installed
To run the tournament, fork this repo or clone it to your computer, and first install the Dimensions package
npm install dimensions-ai
then run
node run.js
to see a live display of a leaderboard of 4 bots. The sample bots used here for demonstration are the swarm bot by Yegor Biryukov: https://www.kaggle.com/yegorbiryukov/halite-swarm-intelligence, the getting started bot provided by Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/alexisbcook/getting-started-with-halite, and a bot that does nothing called stillbot.
To add more bots, add them to the list in run.js at line 47. Note that you have to pass in paths to a file (so you can't use the Kaggle given random bot, you will have to copy it over yourself)
To use ELO ranking instead of trueskill (the default), change line 58 in run.js to Tournament.RANK_SYSTEM.ELO
The file run.sh has the script that is used to run the matches in the tournament
Unfortunately, Windows doesn't work, you will need WSL
