Alien warz is a 1v1, turn-based strategy game where two alien factions battle for dominance on a glowing grid in deep space. Each player commands an aliens ship, competing to harvest resources, claim territory, and sabotage their rival.
The arena is a vibrant, shifting neon battlefield suspended in the void. Every turn, players must carefully decide how to position their units. and how to secure key resources. The stakes rise as the board evolves, forcing tighter conflicts and bolder strategies.
The game is built in Unity with C#, supporting both human players and AI-controlled contestants, allowing aliens to be trained and tested for competitive showdowns.(video).

It is mandatory that contestants use the exact versions specified if they choose that language.
To use the built-in bot provided in the game (against which you can test your own bot), you must have Python installed and correctly set in your system path.
If everything is set up properly, you will see the following screen.
- Python: 3.10.12
- C#: .NET 8.0
- C++: 11.4.0
- Java: 17
- Node.js: 12.22.9
If development is done on Windows, you must install WSL2 with the default Ubuntu distribution.
You can configure WSL from the command line (CMD). If everything is configured properly, you should see output similar to the one below (make sure VERSION == 2):
wsl -l -v # check WSL versions
wsl --install # install default Ubuntu OS
wsl --set-default Ubuntu # set Ubuntu as the default WSL distroInside WSL, you will need to install the dependencies for your chosen programming language.

# MacOS
sudo open AIBG.app
# Linux
sudo ./AIBGUse echo $PATH to debug environment issues.
Use absolute paths in scripts if needed (e.g. /usr/bin/dotnet).
On Windows, make sure scripts use LF line endings, not CRLF.
#Shell Script Requirements Provide a run script for your bot: run_<TEAM_NAME>.sh
The first argument is the path to the script directory.
Save your PID in pid.log for process tracking.
Use a build script (build_<TEAM_NAME>.sh) if compilation is required.
Example snippet:
SCRIPT_DIR=$(cd "$(dirname "$0")"; pwd)
echo "$$" > "$SCRIPT_DIR/pid.log"
python3 "$SCRIPT_DIR/your_bot.py"
