Thanks for the very thorough review — addressed everything below. Statement Added a credit for the Conway's Game of Life inspiration in The Goal. Defined "adjacent" and "neighbor" once in Rules → The Map, removed the duplicate inline definition from EXPAND. Energy: "calculated from" → "calculated as"; documented that both players always start with equal energy (guaranteed by the map's 180° symmetry). Actions table: narrowed Syntax, widened Effect, "Cost" → "Energy cost", now wraps only x/y individually instead of the whole (x,y). Fog of War: x is now , 32 is now . Victory/Defeat Conditions rebuilt using the standard statement-victory-conditions/icon victory and statement-lose-conditions/icon lose markup, with an explicit Defeat Conditions section, an explicit definition of cells/energy in the score formula, and documented behavior for insufficient energy and duplicate same-cell targets. Expert Rules: added the icon-expertrules icon, wrapped action names in , defined "phase snapshot" and "attack-phase snapshot" precisely, clarified that a tie-broken EXPAND still costs energy, removed the reachability guarantee, moved the symmetry rule to the top, added a link to the referee source. Input/Output: restored the "Next N lines" wording per your suggested replacements, line numbers now use statement-lineno, every variable is described, removed the duplicate explanatory paragraph. Removed the redundant "Max actions per turn" row from Constraints. Moved the coordinate-system note into The Map section; the Example Turn now shows the actual initialization input (which was missing) plus turn 1 input, both as two-column tables instead of a prose paragraph. AUTOPHAGY → APOPTOSIS Renamed the self-sacrifice action everywhere — autophagy is a eukaryote-only process and doesn't apply to bacteria; apoptosis (programmed cell death) is the closer fit. Console Replaced raw TURN_STAGE/TURN_EVENT JSON with concise one-liners, dropped internal stage noise and no-op WAIT logging, and the summary now states the winner explicitly. Viewer Increased HUD font sizes for legibility outside fullscreen, added an on-screen winner banner. Starting distance Increased vision radius (3→5) so players discover each other earlier. Left map size/spawns unchanged for now — bigger structural call best made after actual playtesting.

It looks exactly like two slime molds competing for oatmeal flakes. Even the tube regression mechanism is identical to the so-called 'autophagy' action in this game. BTW, as far as I know, bacteria do not use autophagy. Autophagy is characteristic of a more advanced cellular structure, which only eukaryotes possess. So the term 'autophagy' is technically inappropriate here. I updated the bot; however, I can't say much yet since there are no opponents, so no games have been played so far. At first glance, the starting positions are too far from each other, as a lot of turns must pass before we interact with the opponent.

I noticed your contribution shortly after it appeared. For now, some quick comments first. For all of the points below, you may use this contribution as a reference: https://www.codingame.com/... Rules * Was the ▶ intentionally placed above each heading? I think it might look more natural if it appeared to the left of the heading instead. * Fog of War: How is "your half" defined? Advanced Details * This section is usually titled "Technical Details" or "Expert Rules", with an icon before it (as in the example). Victory and Defeat Conditions * These sections usually follow a standard format like the example. I'd suggest formatting the Victory Conditions section the same way and adding a corresponding Defeat Conditions section. Input / Output * Please format the line numbers like the example. Example Turn * The example input (single line) doesn't match the documented input format (multiple lines). Viewer * The viewer typically shows a demo when the IDE page is first loaded or refreshed, similar to the example. I'll try to provide a more in-depth review as soon as I can. Thanks.
