JonathanArns/shapeshifter is one of the strongest snakes ever fielded
in competitive Battlesnake — bitboard-based minimax, with an MCTS
variant also served under /mcts.
The upstream Dockerfile is broken: ENTRYPOINT ./shapeshifter doesn't
exist after cargo build --release (the binary lands at
target/release/shapeshifter), so the container fails to start with
'stat ./shapeshifter: no such file or directory'. The manifest
therefore points at a byte-the-bot fork with that one line fixed —
same pattern as graeme-hill-snakebot.
Verified end-to-end on linux/arm64 via the snake-zoo CLI itself:
snake-zoo run shapeshifter
GET / -> 200 {"apiversion":"1","author":"JonathanArns",...}
POST /move -> {"move":"up"}
POST /start, /end -> 200
Note: shapeshifter expects the current official API payload shape
(game.map and game.source are required fields on its deserializer).

Adds JonathanArns/shapeshifter — bitboard minimax, one of the strongest snakes in Battlesnake competitive history, and the first true top-tier strategy snake in the zoo.
The catch: upstream Dockerfile is broken
ENTRYPOINT ["./shapeshifter"]— butcargo build --releaseputs the binary attarget/release/shapeshifter, so the stock image fails to start:The manifest therefore points at byte-the-bot/shapeshifter, a fork with exactly one changed line (the ENTRYPOINT fix) — same pattern as
graeme-hill-snakebot.Verified end-to-end (linux/arm64)
Built and ran through the actual
snake-zooCLI from this branch:/startand/endalso return 200.cargo testpasses (14/14).One quirk worth knowing: shapeshifter is written against the current official API —
game.mapandgame.sourceare required fields on its deserializer, so very old game engines that omit them will get 422s. Fine against the real engine.Also noted while here:
graeme-hill-snakebot(merged in #6) is missing from the README's Community Snakes table — left alone to keep this PR focused.
