✔️ Rules

🖼️ Overview of rules

🏆 Victory Conditions

• Score more points than your opponent at games end.
• The victory is decisive when you score 20 points at least 2 points apart.

☠️ Defeat Conditions

• Score fewer points than your opponent at games end.
• In some cases, you lose the game, and you are disqualified:
  • forfeit: when you run out of energy.
  • non-combativity: when you and the opponent don't score any point at games end - 200 turns.
• issues:
  • you do not respond in due time - 50 ms.
  • you write an invalid COMMAND.
• doping: when you consume more than 7 drugs.

🏅 Ranking Agents

This is used only for the Codingame leadboard.

Three different cases:

• The win: 1 point
• The defeat: 0 point
• Disqualified: -1 point

Actions

The two players choose only one action simultaneously:

• BREAK: energy=+2
• WALK: energy=-1 move=+20
• RETREAT: energy=-1 move=-20
• LUNGE: energy=-5 distance=+40
• PARRY: energy=-2 distance=-40 energyTransfer=2

LEAGUE >= 2

• DOUBLE_WALK: energy=-4 move=+40
• DOUBLE_RETREAT: energy=-4 move=-30

LEAGUE >= 3

• LUNGE_DRUG: energy=-5 LungeSkill=+5
• PARRY_DRUG: energy=-5 ParrySkill=-5
• ENERGY_MAX_DRUG: energy=-5 EnergyMax=+5
• WALK_DRUG: energy=-5 WalkSkill=+5
• RETREAT_DRUG: energy=-5 RetreatSkill=+5
• DOUBLE_WALK_DRUG: energy=-5 DoubleWalkSkill=+10
• DOUBLE_RETREAT_DRUG: energy=-5 DoubleRetreatSkill=+10
• BREAK_DRUG: energy=-5 BreakSkill=+10

LEAGUE >= 0

let me explain the behaviour of each property:

LEAGUE <= 2

• energy: consumes or produces the energy - in the range [0,20]

LEAGUE >= 3

• energy: consumes or produces the energy - in the range [0, player.EnergyMax]

LEAGUE >= 0

• move: applies a movement to your character in the range [0,500].
• distance: applies an attack or an defence, read §Assault for more details.
• energyTransfer: transfers the quantity from your opponent to you.

LEAGUE >= 3

• energyMax: increases the energy gauge!
• breakSkill: increases your recovery - the energy produced by BREAK.
• lungeSkill: increases the lunge's distance.
• parrySkill: increases the parry's distance.
• walkSkill: increases to walk's movement.
• retreatSkill: increases to retreat's movement.
• doubleWalkSkill: increases to double walk's movement.
• doubleRetreatSkill: increases to double retreat's movement.

Resolutions

• The action's energy is consumed or produced in any cases.
• You declare forfeit when you run out of energy.
• The players respawn when:
  • they collide: myPosition > yourPosition
  • an assault is succeeded.
  • a player is outside.
• The opponent score 1 point when you are moved outside of the Off.
• The players score both when they touch simultaneously: LUNGE Vs LUNGE.

Assaults

⚠️🟢 Caution LEAGUE == 3

Don't forget! change the formula to handle lungeDistanceSkill and parryDistanceSkill..

LEAGUE >= 0

Assault resolution depends on the positions and distances of the ACTIONS:

fn isTouchedWhenLunge(striker:Player, defender:Player) ->
  Abs(striker.position - defender.position) >= striker.lungeDistance;


fn isTouchedWhenLungeParry(striker:Player, defender:Player) ->
  Abs(striker.position - defender.position) >= striker.lungeDistance + defender.parryDistance;

two use cases, bellow:

ILungeAndOpponentDefends = isTouchedWhenLungeParry(me, opponent)
OpponentLunges = isTouchedWhenLunge(opponent, me)
