MEAN MAX

Overview:

MEAN MAX is a strategy game where the objective is to gather more water than your opponents. Players control Reapers, tasked with harvesting water from the wrecks of tankers on a circular map. The game ends when any player reaches 50 water or after 200 turns.

Game Mechanics:

  • Map: The game is played on a circular area with a radius of 6000.
  • Players: There are three players, each starting with a Reaper.
  • Reapers: Reapers harvest 1 water per turn from each wreck they occupy.
  • Actions: Players can either move their Reaper towards a specific position or choose to wait.
  • Ending Conditions: The game ends when any player reaches 50 water or after 200 turns.

Rules:

  • Movement: Reapers can accelerate towards a specific point on the map.
  • Harvesting: Reapers collect water from wrecks by being in their vicinity at the end of a turn.
  • Collisions: Collisions between units are inelastic.
  • Friction: Friction is applied at the end of each turn.
  • Scoring: Players earn water by harvesting wrecks.

Input and Output Format:

  • Input: Each game turn includes information about player scores, unit positions, and velocities.
  • Output: Players must specify the direction and throttle for their Reaper's acceleration or choose to wait.

Technical Details:

  • Reaper Attributes: Mass = 0.5, Friction = 0.2
  • Unit Types: Reapers (Type 0) and Wrecks (Type 4)
  • Unit Data: Includes ID, Type, Player ID, Mass, Radius, Position, Velocity, and Water Quantity (for wrecks).

Sample Input Format (One Game Turn):

  • First 3 lines: Scores of each player
  • Next 3 lines: Placeholder for future leagues
  • Line 10: Number of units
  • Following lines: Unit data (ID, Type, Player ID, Mass, Radius, Position, Velocity, Water Quantity)

Sample Output Format (One Game Turn):

  • One line for player's Reaper: Direction (X, Y) and Throttle
  • Two lines of WAIT (for future leagues)

Notes:

  • Players need to strategize movement to maximize water collection while avoiding collisions.
  • Precision in acceleration and positioning is crucial for efficient resource gathering.
  • Friction affects velocity, influencing movement decisions.

Enjoy playing MEAN MAX!
