This is an application that allows people to write anonymous tank code, then the simulator will battle them and display the results. Tanks communicate with a REST API, so they can be written in any language that supports making HTTP requests.
First, a server must be started. Inside this repo, there is a C# server implementation that can be compiled and run on any platform that supports .NET. Then, each player can start their tank program and connect it to the server, and they can go to the web viewer to see how the game is going.
None of these requests need to be authenticated, so their only requirement is
that they are GET requests.
