Field notes
The workshop lets a builder test against an opponent or run ten seeds, with random starting positions unless fixed starts are set in the Arena. The page says every bot runs on the same small CPU and that each design stores its onboard parts; offboard parts are not saved with the design. Rated play is separated by game and language, and the site says nobody sees anyone else's code.
