Contributing Your Own Starter Project

Want to submit your Starter Project to this list? Wonderful!

You can submit a pull request or create an issue on GitHub and we'll take a look. Community created Starter Projects must follow these guidelines in order to be approved:

• Contain just enough code to run a simple Battlesnake and nothing more

• Return hardcoded responses to all requests

• Be well documented and easy to understand

• Provide simple, extensible unit tests

• Ideally have a minimal project structure
