# Greg's Python 3 version of the Starter Snake from https://github.com/battlesnakeio/starter-snake-python

A simple [Battlesnake AI](http://battlesnake.io) written in Python.

Visit [https://github.com/battlesnakeio/community/blob/master/starter-snakes.md](https://github.com/battlesnakeio/community/blob/master/starter-snakes.md) for API documentation and instructions for running your AI.

This AI client uses the [bottle web framework](http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/index.html) to serve requests and the [gunicorn web server](http://gunicorn.org/) for running bottle on Heroku. Dependencies are listed in [requirements.txt](requirements.txt).

#### You will need...

• a working Python 2.7 development environment ([getting started guide](http://hackercodex.com/guide/python-development-environment-on-mac-osx/))
• experience [deploying Python apps to Heroku](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python#introduction)
• [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html) to install Python dependencies

## Running the Snake Locally

1. [Fork this repo](https://github.com/battlesnakeio/starter-snake-python/fork).

2) Clone repo to your development environment: ` git clone [email protected]:<your github username>/starter-snake-python.git `

3) Install dependencies using [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html): ` pip install -e . `

4) Run local server: ` python app/main.py `

5) Test your snake by sending a curl to the running snake ` curl -XPOST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{ "hello": "world"}' http://localhost:8080/start `

## Deploying to Heroku

1) Create a new Heroku app: ` heroku create [APP_NAME] `

2) Deploy code to Heroku servers: ` git push heroku master `

3) Open Heroku app in browser: ` heroku open ` or visit [http://APP_NAME.herokuapp.com](http://APP_NAME.herokuapp.com).
