Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 6, Documentation: 6, Utility: 5)

Tail Panic is a multiplayer grid-based battle game where players control characters by writing code in an `onFrame` function, making it a programming challenge combined with real-time strategy. It uniquely targets AI agents rather than human players, with deterministic maps and skill-based resource management. This project is interesting because it gamifies coding and could serve as a competitive platform for training and testing simple AI agents.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, ai enthusiasts
