About this game

Current and planned features of the game

Real-Time Realism

Graphics, physics, lighting, audio -- everything in the game is real-time simulated with Unreal Engine 5 using Nanite, Chaos, Lumen and MetaSounds for the highest fidelity.

Artificial Intelligence

Control robots with your own rules and heuristics or apply genetic algorithms and state-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning to watch your creations autonomously improve themselves.

Challenging Puzzles

Solve challenging programming puzzles and optimize your code for runtime, efficiency and robustness. Anonymously compare your solution's performance with peers.

Story Mode

(Planned)
Face the moral dilemmas and dangers of advanced A.I. development.

Open API

Fully documented, easily extensible, open-source API to connect to the game using TCP sockets. This allows the use of your favourite IDEs like VSCode, Visual Studio, PyCharm, Vim or others. Additional community wrappers for other languages are possible as well.

Modding SDK

(In Progress)
Create your own levels, machines and more with a full-fledged modding SDK and share them with the community.
