minimum acceptable health pts #7

Open tjukes opened 7 years ago

To consider:

Number of other snakes on board
Size of board (not relevant if avg food distribution info is available, but otherwise impt because it could imply a minimum number of steps to reach food once minimum health level has been reached)
Avg distribution of food (enhancement - need to save data from turn to turn to calculate average)
Behaviour of other snakes (enhancement - need to save data between turns to make predictions)
Other...? Edit away :)

To find this, it'd be best to run a bunch of games and review the data on those games. In a way, this is somewhat independent of behaviour of snakes, since you can look at the questions as:

what is the expected time till food falls for which you are closest.

as sort of a lower bound on how often you can expect to have access to food.
