Wizards and trolls

Last week we deep dived on building out an agent system and I suggested I might just do some tweaks. Upon publishing that article I had open sourced it all and I did as I suggested - I added some NPCs. I added “Gary the Wizard” which one can challenge in a duel If you loose, you lose strength or health, but if you win you get to decide if you get +2 strength, health or victory points.

Build a game, let em fight!

Just a week or so ago Google released Antigravity extensions for IDEs which is something I’ve been waiting for ever since Gemini Code Assist (GCA) went away. Since my primary editor is Zed, I was happy to see clear install steps for Zed. (Written way after I was done) I planned to just use Antigravity in Zed to do a quick project, but as you will see that rapidly snowballed into a deep dive into making various types of bots for a web based turn-based game. I ended up having more fun banging away on that than anything.. and you might be surprised to find what happens when we pit NodeJS vs Python heuristic bots, or Gemma4 at e4b vs 12b on Cloud vs self-hosted, lots to see…
