Lux AI Challenge
Write agents for a 1v1 resource strategy game on Kaggle
The Lux AI Challenge is a series of AI competitions where you write an agent for a 1v1 strategy game. Your agent gathers and spends resources and controls units against another agent. In Season 3, a match was a best-of-five series on the same random map, and agents could only see part of the board, so they had to explore and adapt.
