Field notes
The example bot imports helper functions such as `nearestDanger` and `steerAway`, while the underlying interface stays small: inspect state, choose a turn, and optionally boost. The site says the seeded engine makes matches reproducible and that the sandbox has no I/O or clock, so local matches can be replayed from their seed. Deployment checks whether a bot loads, stays within budget, and beats the easiest house bot.
