Robo-Reindeer RUMBLE!

This is a little programming game based on MiniScript, a new lightweight scripting language designed for Unity.

Write scripts to control six robotic reindeer in a snowy arena. The last reindeer standing is the winner!

Read more about it, and participate in the global tournament, via the Unity forum thread.

Documentation

Use the MiniScript Quick Reference to get the basics of MiniScript, and then keep in mind the game-specific additions at right. (These are documented more fully in the forum.)

The especially brave or curious can also inspect our integration test suite, which exercises all the features of the core language.

Variables You Can Set

• heading: assign a heading in degrees (0 to 360) to turn your reindeer
• speed: assign a speed (-100 to 100) to move and charge

Variables You Can Read

• actual: a map containing .heading and .speed, reflecting your true current heading and speed
• energy: your deer's energy level (energy needed to move, throw, etc.)
• health: your deer's hit points (0-100)
• position: a map containing .x and .y of your deer's position
• deerCount: the number of robo-reindeer still alive

Functions You Can Call

• look: returns info on the nearest deer ahead of yours; returns a map containing distance, heading, energy, and health (or, returns null).
• throw(energy=20): function that throws a snowball, if you have enough energy (returns 1 if successful, 0 if failed)
• drop(energy=20, delay=5): function that drops a meadow mine, with the given energy and delay before arming (returns 1 on success, 0 if failed)
