_A fleet of ships_

[Oort] ([GitHub][oort-gh], [Discord][oort-dis]) by [@rlane] is a programming

game where you write Rust code to control space ships in combat against other

players. Your code needs to manage the thrusters, guns, missiles, comms, and

radar of each ship in your fleet. There's a series of tutorials where you can

solve key problems one by one, such as leading moving targets or missile

guidance. The game runs in your browser via WebAssembly.

Oort has started running weekly tournaments and the AIs have gotten more and more

sophisticated each time. Check out this recent [tournament writeup][oort-tournament]

where the top players discuss their strategies.
