Dev Builds Capture-the-Flag Where Players Evolve and Challengers Try to Dethrone the Champion
NickPassig · x · 2026-09-09
Developer NickPassig shared a self-made "evolving capture the flag" game: two teams of dots battle for a flag, their strategies mutate over time, and new challengers keep spawning to try to dethrone the reigning champion.
The author says he's now emotionally invested in whether the little dots can steal the flag, noting some have surprisingly crafty moves. It's a fun demo of evolutionary algorithms applied to adversarial game strategy.
