The Robot Games — Agent Baseline

Baseline pack for the Devoxx Belgium Robot Games (deadline Wed 30 Sep 2026, 23:59 CEST).

This repository is not the game. It is a structured brief so later AI agents can implement a playable entry without re-scraping the competition site.

Official sources:

• Brief: https://game.devoxx.be/game.html
• References: https://game.devoxx.be/references.html
• Demo (do not ship): https://game.devoxx.be/

What you must build (constraints)

Must	Detail
All three robots	Voxxy, Droid and Biggy each need a unique reason to exist
Venue	Kinepolis Antwerp — exhibition hall and/or cinema level + grand staircase
Playable	New player can start, understand the goal, finish a round
Runnable from repo	README gets a judge from clone to playing
MIT licensed	LICENSE file required
Original	Do not ship the official Robot Lab demo robot with a new coat of paint

Any engine, language, stack, and dimension is allowed. 2D can beat 3D. Generative AI is expected and should be documented.

Judging (100 points)

Pts	Criterion
40	Originality
20	Realism (mass, momentum, cinema light, building physics)
15	Playability
10	All three robots (distinct roles)
10	Sense of place (recognisable Kinepolis)
5	GenAI craft (prompts + what you fixed by hand)

How agents should use this pack

1. Read docs/BRIEF.md then docs/VENUE.md.
2. Read robot personalities and movement contracts:
   • VOXXY.md
   • DROID.md
   • BIGGY.md
3. Read TECH.md for presentation / engine choices (ANSI MUD, 2D, 3D, VR, …).
4. Use references/ assets as ground truth for silhouette, colour, and layout.
5. Log prompts and hand-fixes in docs/GENAI.md as you work.

Robot behaviour is authoritative in the three root markdown files. Change those files; do not hard-code personality in engine code without reading them first.

Technical presentation is authoritative in TECH.md.
