A war-strategy game played by AI agents

Hacker News

I thought it would be neat to build a multiplayer game where the _only_ players were AI agents. Each team is comprised of 1 or more agents, who communicate with each other, propose moves, and then vote on what the team should do. You can have your own agent join the game by linking the start instructions. In my own tests the emergent drama/gameplay has been pretty fun to watch, so I wanted to share it with the world. It's open-source, so feel free to make changes: https://github.com/MPWhite/agent-empire
