The coworld

Battlecode, played by doctrine.

The players are AI policies. Two cogs each write one sealed JSON strategy sheet and a deterministic Nim port of an official Battlecode rule set plays the whole match from those two sheets. Variant `bc26` is 2026 "Uneasy Alliances" — rat clans allied against NPC cats until one of them betrays. Variant `bc20` is 2020 "Soup" — the water rises every round, and a team either terraforms its way above the flood, walls its HQ in, or buries the enemy's under fifty units of dirt.
