Starter Projects
These projects are built and maintained by the Battlesnake team. We do our best to keep them functional and up-to-date with the latest game features.
If you're building a Battlesnake for the first time, these are great starting points.

The following starter projects use a deprecated version of the Battlesnake API. They're still great starting points, but require some additional updates to work correctly. See Migrating to API Version 1 for details.

These projects are maintained independently by their developers. See project guidelines for each project if you're interested in getting involved or have any questions/concerns.
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
