This is a super interesting idea, and I , a minnow, do appreciate the effort you are putting in to help solve this problem. I dont quite understand all the parts that you describe ...but I want to! Do you reccommend any beginner to intermediate learning resources other than codeacademy where I can start to gain a better vocabulary and logical understanding for how these bots work? I am interested in one day being able to help solve these types of problems, too. Also i like the name/character! Truffle pig! Lol cute!
