Will you make a fast implementation of the environment available? The best AIs right now are model based (AlphaGo), so the best bots will probably have to reimplement the environment, unless you make a model available for everyone?
I've been trying to create a Slay the Spire AI and am burned out on reimplementing environments, it's rather boring code, but there sure is a lot of it, and it takes a lot of work trying to figure out subtle details. It would be nice to be able to spend more than 20% of my time on actual AI stuff, rather than trying to reverse engineer the game so I can make a good model.
