King of the Hill - Firefighters

Question

It is a dry summer in the prairie. The four farmers in the area realize that they can corner the market on corn by burning their neighbors crops. But they need a strategy for doing so; that is where you come in.

Your task is to write a bot to tell the farmers what to burn. The goal is to finish the game with the largest area of unburnt land. The playing field is a 32x32 grid. Each cell may be one of the following:

. - Ground

@ - A bot

# - Ash

W - Wet ground

1,2,3,4,5, or 6 - Fire

Fire grows in intensity by 1 each turn. Once it is 3 or higher, it will set cells next to it (horizontally or vertically) on fire. After fire hits 6, it turns into ash.

On each turn, bots receive as STDIN the following: bot starting x, bot starting y, bot current x position, bot current y position, and the board, separated by newlines. An example:

8
22
6
24
................................
................................
................................
.....................1..........
....................1#1.........
...................1#363........
....................16@1........
.....................31.........
................................
.........1.1....................
........15#62...................
........15@2....................
.........32.....................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
....4.1.........................
.....1#3........................
.....@3.........................
.....W..........................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................
................................

(in this instance you are the bot in the bottom left).

You must output three characters, with an optional newline, representing the following:

Move - one of L, R, U, D, or S (stay)

Action - one of B (burn), P (pour water) or X (do nothing)

Direction - one of L, R, U, D or S - controls which cell you perform the action on

Fire does not affect bots.

Turn order is as follows: All bots move; all bots perform actions; then environmental rules happen. If you pour water on the ground, it will be wet (W) for one turn. Fire will not spread to wet ground. If you pour water on wet ground, it will continue to be wet. If you pour water on fire, it turns back to regular ground. You cannot do anything to ash.

Rounds are run with 4 bots at a time. The round ends after 50 turns, or when one bot runs out of unburnt ground, whichever comes first. Your score is calculated as the number of ground or wet ground cells in the 9x9 square centered on where your bot started.

Here is an example bot; it picks all three letters randomly and generally ends up burning down its own fields.

RandomBurner:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import random
print random.choice('LRUDS')+random.choice('BPX')+random.choice('LRUDS')

Rules:

• No filesystem access outside of your own folder.
• You may write to files if you need to store persistent data between turns, but only up to a maximum of 1kb per bot
• You may not overwrite anybody else's bot
• If you output an invalid move, your bot will sit still. If you output an invalid action, your bot will do nothing.
• Please stick to common languages that can be run on a OSX or Linux box.

Controller code can be found here.

Answer 1

Visigoth

Visigoth tries to burn its enemies to the ground. It hopes to do this before anyone else gets to its land.

Run: python visigoth.py

#!/usr/bin/python

''' Charge the enemy and burn them to the ground. '''

import sys

data = sys.stdin.readlines()

startx, starty, x, y = [int(i) for i in data[0:4]]
field = [list(i) for i in data[4:]]

otherbots = []
for i in range(32):
    for j in range(32):
        if field[i][j]=='@': #bot
            if i!=y and j!=x:
                otherbots.append([j,i])

min_bot = otherbots[0]
for bot in otherbots:
    if abs(bot[0]-x)+abs(bot[1]-y) < abs(min_bot[0]-x)+abs(min_bot[1]-y):
        min_bot = bot

dx = min_bot[0]-x
dy = min_bot[1]-y

if abs(dy)>abs(dx):
    if dy>0:
        move = 'U'
    else:
        move = 'D'
else:
    if dx>0:
        move = 'R'
    elif dx<0:
        move = 'L'
    else:
        move = 'S'

if max(abs(x-startx), abs(y-starty))>4:
    if 0<x<31 and 0<y<31:
        dirs = {'U':(-1,0), 'D':(1,0), 'L':(0,-1), 'R':(0,1)}
        for i in dirs:
            if field[dirs[i][0]][dirs[i][1]] in ('.', 'W'):
                action = 'B'+i
                break
        else:
            # No free land nearby, go out in a blaze of glory
            action = 'BS'
    else:
        action = 'BS'
else:
    # Don't set own field on fire
    action = 'XS'

print move+action

This is my first entry, constructive criticism is appreciated!

Attempts to surround his field with a fence of ash.

Edit: Improved logic a bit. Probably won't make a difference.

Answer 4

Pyro, python

Pyro likes fire. Pyro loves fire. Pyro lives in fire. I'm thinking "Pyro from TF2". Pyro likes to burn things. He won't burn his own territory, but he will try to get out of it, using a simple "pathfinding" algorithm.

import sys
import random
inpu          = sys.stdin.readlines()
ox,oy,x,y     = [int(i) for i in inpu[0:4]]
board         = [list(i) for i in inpu[4:]]
adjacentcells = [[[board[y+b][x+c],b,c] for b in range(-1,2)] for c in range(-1,2)]
action        = ""
infield=max(abs(ox-x),abs(oy-y))<=9
# let's find out what Pyro will do!
if not infield: # Pyro won't burn what's in his field.
    for row in adjacentcells:
        for entry in row:
            cell,a,b=entry
            if(a!=b):   # Can't act on these cells.
                if cell==".":   # burn it!!!!!!
                    action = "B"
                    if(a==0):
                        direction = {-1:"L",1:"R"}[b]
                    else:
                        direction = {-1:"D",1:"U"}[a]
            if action: break;
        if action: break;
    # Pyro doesn't care where he goes, so long as
    # Pyro's not in the field of Pyro.
    move = random.choice("LRUDS")
else:   # Thought Pyro hates water, Pyro must protect SOMETHING.
    action    = "P"
    direction = "S"
    # get the direction towards the center
    # Pyro will move away from ox and oy to
    # towards the center, if in the field.
    # Pyro will do this by first going right/left,
    # then going up/down. (This behaviour is
    # removed when he leaves his field.)
    cx = cy = 16
    while max(abs(cx-x),abs(cy-y))<=9:
        cx = random.randint(0,31)
        cy = random.randint(0,31)
    if(cx-x>0): #is to the left of the center
        move = "R"
    elif(cx-x<0): #is to the right of the cenetr
        move = "L"
    elif(cy-y>0): # is above center
        move = "D"
    elif(cy-y<0): # is below center
        move = "U"
    else:   # is at center (something went wrong!)
        move   = "S"
        action = "B"
if not move:
    move = "S"
if not action:
    action = "B"
if not direction:
    direction = "S"
print(move+action+direction)

GetOff, Python

GetOff just wants to keep his land for himself, and he's not afraid to chase those damn bots all over his land, squirting them with his water gun until they leave. While its property is not being violated, it makes tries its best to make sure his land doesn't get burned.

Keeper, Python 2

Pos = [NowX, NowY]
Area = [[StX, StY]]
for x in range(StX-4, StX+4):
    for y in range(StY-4, StY+4):
        Area.append([x, y])

Fires = []
for y in range(32):
    for x in range(32):
        if Map[y][x] in "123456":
            Fires.append([x, y])

Danger = []
for Tile in Area:
    if Map[Tile[1]][Tile[0]] in "123456":
        Danger.append(Tile)

Distance = {}
i = -1
for Fire in Danger:
    i += 1
    Distance[(Pos[0] - Fire[0], Pos[1] - Fire[1])] = i

i = min(Distance)
Closest = Danger[Distance[i]]

if Closest[0] > Pos[0]:
    Out[0] = Out[2] = "R"
    Pos[0] += 1
if Closest[0] < Pos[0]:
    Out[0] = Out[2] = "L"
    Pos[0] -= 1
if Closest[0] == Pos[0]:
    if Closest[1] > Pos[1]:
        Out[0] = Out[2] = "D"
        Pos[1] += 1
    if Closest[1] < Pos[1]:
        Out[0] = Out[2] = "U"
        Pos[1] -= 1

if Closest[0] + 1 == Pos[0] and Closest[1] == Pos[1]:
    Out[2] = "L"
if Closest[0] - 1 == Pos[0] and Closest[1] == Pos[1]:
    Out[2] = "R"
if Closest[1] + 1 == Pos[1] and Closest[0] == Pos[0]:
    Out[2] = "U"

if Closest[0] == Pos[0] and Closest[1] == Pos[1]:
    Out[2] = "S"


print "".join(Out)

Could be simplified, but I'm tired.

The Keeper tries to keep its field from harm. If a fire appears, it hurries over to it and puts it out as fast as it can.

I may add accommodation for incoming fires as well.

Answer 9

CautiousBot, Node.js (ES5)

This bot goes out and tries to set fire to other bots' land. It even sits on top of the fire for 3 ticks to hide it! However, one can never be too cautious, so it always makes sure it is close enough to put out any fires on its own land.

Notes:

• Uses a state file called state.json stored in its working directory, used to store information about other bots' initial positions and to determine how long to hide a started fire. This must be deleted once the round is over (eg, when some bot has won). Otherwise the bot will be confused on the next round. (Let me know if this breaks rules.)
• Requires the split module.

#!/usr/bin/env node

// imports
var fs       = require("fs");
var splitmod = require("split");

// variables
var startX, startY, currentX, currentY, board = [], state = {};
var DEBUG = false;

// utility functions
function debug(){
    if(DEBUG) console.log.apply(console, arguments);
}

// calculates manhattan distance which is also the number of turns it will take to get somewhere
function manhattan(x1, y1, x2, y2){
    return Math.abs(x2 - x1) + Math.abs(y2 - y1);
}

// calculates chebyshev distance (mostly used for determining if a bot is within someone's plot)
