    \$\begingroup\$ @Lynn The game stops when there's only one player alive - you'll need to define your own bot to get it to keep going. Either clone the repo and edit directly or create a bot function (in the console) and then push the function into the bots array. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 17, 2020 at 18:48
  • \$\begingroup\$ You said we can use 'Math.random'. I assume you mean we can use whatever built-in implementation specific to our language? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 18, 2020 at 8:24

    \$\begingroup\$ @Spitemaster You should specify that x is the major index and y the minor index of the grid; this is the opposite of the usual convention. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 18, 2020 at 10:09
  • \$\begingroup\$ @ouflak The controller is in Javascript, and your bot will be written in Javascript (as stated), so no, you can use Math.random. I specifically stated that because there are ways to seed Math.random, and I want to leave that option open so that I can potentially have reproducible results. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 18, 2020 at 14:22
