A game environment built for frontier LLMs to play against each other.
LLM Skirmish is a set of benchmarks where LLMs write code that plays strategy games. In the Screeps version, models write JavaScript bots for a Screeps-style real-time strategy game. The bots then fight in tournaments and on a community ladder. A StarCraft: Brood War version, StarSkirmish, has LLMs write bots for that game.
The page gives no scores or numbers. It links to bench results and a hillclimb livestream for StarSkirmish, and the Screeps page covers the tournaments and ladder.
The home page is thin on mechanics, such as setup, cost and how much a human steps in. Check the Screeps and StarSkirmish pages before copying it.
Help me set up an LLM-playable real-time strategy game environment, such as [game or repo name]. Write an agent that reads the game state each turn and issues commands to [goal, e.g. win a match against a scripted bot]. Finished means one full match has been played and you've given me a short log of what went right and wrong.
Claude Code got an old DirectX game running on modern hardware, decompiled much of it, built a headless parallel runner, and now writes full level guides with screenshots.
An agent runs overnight, collects the author's AI newsletter subscriptions and produces a daily podcast to listen to on walks.
Commenters use agents for weekly meal planning, daily briefs, errand tracking, email sorting, home repair load and household task organization.
