Yare turns RTS into AI eval

Yare is more interesting as an AI stress test than as a novelty game. It compresses code generation, planning, and feedback into short matches that expose a real weakness in today’s coding models.

• –The core loop is simple enough to learn quickly, with direct commands like movement and attacks, but still rich enough to reward actual strategy
• –The AI Arena gives the project a real developer-news angle by comparing major models against a human-written bot on the same task
• –Compared with sprawling programming games like Screeps, Yare looks much more approachable as a teaching tool and quick experimentation sandbox
• –The open-source GitHub repo and Docker-based local setup make it useful as a hackable eval playground, not just a closed web game
