2017-era Python 2.7 Battlesnake by qqqstuv (5 stars). Uses A* + Dijkstra
pathfinding with a strategy heatmap.
Ported to v1 via byte-the-bot/BattleSnake-2017@master, which carries a
config-only patch — three files added (Dockerfile + stdlib Python 3
shim + supervisor script), no source modifications. The shim translates
v1 requests to the 2017 pre-world flat envelope and mirrors inbound
coordinates (Y_FLIP=1) so the strategy sees its native top-left frame.
End-to-end validated: GET / returns the v1 identity doc, /start /move
/end round-trip cleanly, /move returns a legal {move, shout} response.
