Battlesnake

Overview

The RBC T&O Battlesnake tournament consists of building an algorithm for a Battlesnake. The rules are as follows:

• If the Battlesnake moves beyond the boundary of the game board, it will be eliminated
• If a Battlesnake collides with another Battlesnake (including itself), it will be eliminated
• A Battlesnake loses 1 health every turn, and it is eliminated if it reaches zero
• Food across the board restores health and increases the snake's length by one
• In head-to-head collisions, the longer Battlesnake will survive
• If both snakes are the same length, then both are eliminated

The last Battlesnake remaining is the winner
