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. Variant `bc21` is 2021 "Campaign" — Enlightenment Centers bid influence for votes and spend it on politicians, slanderers and muckrakers, and the election is decided at round 1500. Variant `bc24` is 2024 "Breadwars" — 50 identical ducks a side, three flags each, an impassable dam for 200 rounds, and traps you cannot see until they go off. Variant `bc25` is 2025 “Chromatic Conflict” — paint robots colour a grid, build money, paint and defense towers by painting exact patterns onto ruins, and win by owning 70 % of the map.
