Halite AI Programming Challenge

Halite is an artificial intelligence challenge, created by Two Sigma. Participants write bots using the programming language of their choice to compete in an original online multiplayer game.

Since 2016, more than 15,000 people around the world have participated in a Halite challenge, applying advanced algorithms in a dynamic, open source game setting. The strategic depth and immersive, interactive nature of Halite games make each challenge a unique learning environment.

Halite by Two Sigma (“Halite”) is a resource management game where you build and control a small armada of ships. Your algorithms determine their movements to collect halite, a luminous energy source. The most halite at the end of the match wins, but it’s up to you to figure out how to make effective and efficient moves. You control your fleet, build new ships, create shipyards, and mine the regenerating halite on the game board.

Participate in Halite on Kaggle.

Halite IV builds on the core game design of Halite III with a number of key changes that shift the focus of the game towards tighter competition on a smaller board. New game features include regenerating halite, shipyard creation, no more ship movement costs, and stealing halite from other players!
