Show HN: Programmer Unknown's BattleGround

Hey everyone! PUBG is an automatic environment (actually, a battleground) where several alrogithms fight in the real time. Each algorithm controls a creature (which can be bull, rhino, slug etc.) with an aim to grab bullets and hurt other creatures with it. By killing enemies your creature increases it's IQ, the smartest creatures lists in the leaderboard. This product originally was our internal fun challenging project for programmers, but we think that other IT companies or educational organization can use it for learning programming or other things. It's absolutely free for use and distributed under the MIT license. How it can be used: 1. If you're learning programming you can use PUBG to train your projection (from abstract thoughts to certain commands) skill. 2. If you works in a team you can organize weekly battles and give pizza, beer or iPhone X to a winner. 3. If you're a teacher you can use PUBG as a small lab to demonstrate basic algorithms and applied samples of programming knowledge. It's much more interesting to make a brain for a creature rather than to draw a parabola on a screen (in most cases). We'll be glad if you try it on http://appcraft.pro/pubg :)

Here is the tutorial how to start: http://appcraft.pro/pubg/docs/en/rules.html
