[HeroCTF 2024] [Prog 864 – Antwarz PVE – Easy & Medium] Write UpThese challenges are categorized as easy and medium difficulty. In these challenges, you will need to code your own bot to control an ant colony. In the first two challenges (Easy and Medium), you compete against pre-configured bots. If you succeed, you enter the PVP arena, where you will compete against other players.
Scoring ends 10 minutes before the CTF concludes, and the team with the most points will be awarded a flag worth 10 points. While this flag might not seem like much, it could be the deciding factor between second or first place! You can find more information about the game in the documentation section of the dedicated platform.
It’s worth noting that the goal of these challenges is not to exploit the platform, but to create the best possible bot. Any detected security vulnerabilities should be reported, as exploiting them to solve a challenge would invalidate the submission.
You can access the source code of the game engine through the first challenge of the series if you wish to set it up locally.
