Tactical Grid – A Battlecode Planner

Hi guys! This is my open source Battlecode planner.
It has multiple tools including waypoints, text, drawing, and dynamic placing of units and maps.

What makes this project different is that it supports multiple users annotating and editing at the same time, all at once!

How to Use

1. Upload a map – Use an image (screenshot of any map; not a .bc26 file).
2. Upload unit (robot) images – Screenshots of all the game units you are experimenting with.
3. Create a blank unit – A tiny screenshot of map tiling to block out starting units that appear on the map.
4. Start annotating – You’re ready to plan alongside team members in real-time.
