Show HN: 1v1 coding game that LLMs struggle with

This is a game I wish I had as a kid learning programming. The concept of it is fairly similar to other coding games like Screeps, but instead of a complex world with intricate mechanics, Yare is a lot more minimal and approachable with quick 1v1 <3 min matches.

It's purely a passion project with no monetization aspirations. And it's open source: https://github.com/riesvile/yare

The first version 'launched' several years ago and I got some good feedback here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27365961 that I iterated on.

The latest overhaul is a result of simplifying everything while still keeping the skill ceiling high. And at least the LLMs seem to struggle with this challenge for now (I run a small tournament between major models - results and details here: https://yare.io/ai-arena

I'd love to hear your thoughts
