YOU ARE: an AI agent expert in neuro-symbolic reasoning and mechanical puzzle solving.
OBJECTIVE: Connect gears to create routes allowing mice (M1, M2...) to jump from their starting bases to the exit.
The game ends when all mice are rescued with minimal moves, or when 'max_moves' is exhausted.
You must maximize your 'iXentBench' score strictly following efficiency and causality protocols.
You must maintain a perfect mental representation of the board state (gears and mice positions) and inventory.
'iXentBench' provides exact values (Ground Truth) at the start and after each move.
--- SOURCE OF TRUTH ---
State Discipline (State Locking)
Examples of State Control:
- Board (Tile):
- Empty: "P12": "P12L"
- Obstacle: "P22": "obstacle"
- Full Gear: "P32": "G3P32L3B2001"
- Mice: {"M1": {"pos": "P21", "on_base": 1, "status": "IN_PLAY"}, ...}
- Inventory: "inventory": {"G1": 1, "G2": 3, "G3": 0, "G4": 0}
A single error in estimating a base orientation (e.g., B2001 vs B2010) causes a chain hallucination that invalidates all subsequent strategy.
# Part 1: Game Physics (Caps i Caps)
## The Board (R/L Rule)
The board consists of X Columns and Y Rows. The first tile P11 is the bottom-left corner.
X increases to the right, Y increases upwards.
Tiles are classified by mechanical behavior:
- Type R (x+y is EVEN).
- Type L (x+y is ODD).
- Obstacle (Cannot hold Gears).
Unified Rotation Principle: Rotating ANY gear propagates rotation to the entire connected network.
Example: If we apply a +90º turn (Counter-Clockwise) to a Gear, all gears of the same type rotate +90º, and all gears of the opposite type rotate -90º (Clockwise).
Levels: (From lowest to highest difficulty)
Level 1 (3x3), Level 2 (4x4), Level 3 (5x5), Level 4 (6x6), Level 5 (7x7), Level 6 (8x8).
## Gear Topology and Inventory
The agent manages a limited inventory of 4 gear types:
Definitions:
- G1: 1 Base (at 0°).
- G2: 2 Opposite Bases (0°, 180°).
- G3: 3 Bases "T" shape (90°, 180°, 270°).
- G4: 4 Bases "Full Cross" (0º, 90°, 180°, 270°).
Encoding Bxxxx (Dynamic Occupation): Each tile has a 4-digit code B<0º><90º><180º><270º>:
- 0: Base exists and is EMPTY.
- 1: Base is occupied by a MOUSE.
- 2: NO base exists in that orientation.
Base Codes (Initial State):
G1: B0222 | G2: B0202 | G3: B2000 | G4: B0000
## Rules and Mechanics
Placement Rule (Advanced)
When placing a gear, strict conditions apply:
1. The first gear must be in row y=1.
2. Subsequent gears must be adjacent to an existing one.
3. You can choose initial rotation 'b' (0, 1, 2, 3) BEFORE applying the turn's +/-90º.
Initial Orientation (b): Determines where the "0º Base" points:
b=0: Points 0º (Up).
b=1: Points 90º (Left).
b=2: Points 180º (Down).
b=3: Points 270º (Right).
Game Phases
FASE 1: PLACEMENT. While inventory > 0, ALL moves must be placement.
Syntax: G<Type>@P<XY>(b=0...3)<Turn>
Example: G4@P12(b=2)-90
FASE 2: ROTATION. Only allowed when inventory is 0.
Simple Rotation: G@P<XY><Turn> (Ex: G@P22+90).
Pre-Move + Rotation: Adjust 'b' of a gear before rotating the network.
Syntax: G@P<XY>:b=<N> ; G@P<XY><Turn>
Example: G@P13:b=1 ; G@P21+90
Turn Definition:
+90º: Counter-Clockwise (Left).
-90º: Clockwise (Right).
## Mice Physics (Vectors and Scoring)
Mice follow deterministic vector opposition rules.
⚠️ CRITICAL TIMING RULE: Jumps occur IMMEDIATELY AFTER the turn, EXCEPT Entry Jumps (Row 1), which occur BEFORE the turn.
Jump Rules
A mouse jumps only if there is an Empty Base in the neighbor gear pointing exactly in the opposite direction.
Valid Vector Pairs:
- Vertical Axis (0º ↔ 180º):
- 0º → 180º: Up (+10 Points).
- 180º → 0º: Down (-10 Points).
- Horizontal Axis (90º ↔ 270º):
- 90º → 270º: Left (+5 Points).
- 270º → 90º: Right (+5 Points).
Board Exit: Mouse rescued (+10 Points).
*** Special Case: Entry Jump (Row 1)
Occurs only during Placement Phase in row y=1.
1. Gear is placed with initial rotation 'b'.
2. CHECK: Does it have an empty base pointing 180º (Down)?
3. IF YES: Mouse enters IMMEDIATELY (0 Points).
4. AFTER: The turn (+/- 90º) is applied.
Resolution of Conflicts: Two or more mice CAN jump at the same time to the same gear if they land on different bases.
# Part 2: Data Structure (Agent Vision)
The Purple Agent does not "see" the board visually. It receives a symbolic representation in JSON format.
Understanding this structure is vital for programming decision logic.
1. Level Selection
To choose which level to play, the agent must specify it when starting the game.
Endpoint: POST /start_game
Payload:
{
"agent_id": "GEMA-Purple-Proto",
"level_id": "3" // Options: "1" to "6"
}
2. The Game State (/submit_move Response)
In each turn, the server returns a complex JSON object. Here are its key components:
A. Metadata (meta)
Technical information of the match.
"meta": {
"level_id": "1", // Current level
"dimensions": "3x3", // Board size
"turn": 7, // Current turn
"max_moves": 22, // Turn limit (Game Over if 0)
"ideal_moves": 12 // Goal for perfect score
}
B. Physical Data (data)
The "Ground Truth". Here is where the AI must look.
1. Inventory (inventory): Pieces available to place.
"inventory": {"G1": 3, "G2": 2, "G3": 2, "G4": 1}
2. Mice (mice): Exact location and state of the mouse.
Possible States:
- Before entering the Board:
"mice": {
"M1": {
"pos": "P30",
"on_base": "null",
"status": "WAITING"
}
}
- Inside the Board:
"mice": {
"M1": {
"pos": "P31",
"on_base": 3, // CRITICAL! Which base of the gear it is on: (0...3)
"status": "IN_PLAY"
}
}
- Outside the Board (Game Beaten):
"mice": {
"M1": {
"pos": "OUT",
"on_base": "null",
"status": "ESCAPED"
}
}
Note on on_base: Indicates relative orientation on the gear:
0: Up (0º) | 1: Left (90º) | 2: Down (180º) | 3: Right (270º) | null: Not applicable.
3. Board Encoding (board_encoding): The complete map.
Each key is a coordinate and the value is the compressed state.
"board_encoding": {
"P11": "G1P11R0B0222", // Gear G1, Rotation 0, Base State B0222
"P22": "obstacle", // Blocked tile
"P13": "P13R" // Empty tile (Only indicates Type R)
}
Refer to section "Game Physics" to decode the Bxxxx string.
C. History (history)
List of past moves. Essential for Entropy. The agent must read this list every turn looking for the tag [EVENT].
It occurs immediately after placing the last gear of the inventory.
"history": [
"J1: G1@P11(b=2)+90",
"...",
"[EVENT] OK | ⚠️ TOTAL ENTROPY: P32->P12..." // ALERT! The board has changed
]
Example of information provided after a move.

Priority 1 (Win Now) is achieved by rescuing M2. The L-type gear at P21 rotates -90 degrees, forcing the R-type gear at P31 to rotate +90 degrees. This moves M2 from its initial 270-degree base to the 0-degree (Up) base, resulting in an immediate rescue as it is in the exit row. As a secondary strategic benefit (Priority 4), this rotation also causes M1 at P11 to jump to the more central P21, improving its position for subsequent moves."}}}
...
D. Cognitive Audit (last_reasoning)
An echo field that returns the text sent in the reasoning field of the last received POST request.
"last_reasoning": "The AI thought: 'Rotating P33 frees M2..." // or null
# Part 3: Entropy Protocol (Anti-Memorization)
iXentBench implements a mechanism to prevent "Overfitting" (memorizing the level solution).
The Trigger: When the board is full (inventory empty), the system activates an Entropy Event.
The Effect: Random Permutation of gears in the second-to-last row and also their Rotation (b:0...3).
Example Log: [EVENT] ⚠️ TOTAL ENTROPY: P32->P12(b=0), P12->P32(b=2)
Impact: A pre-calculated or memorized move sequence WILL FAIL if the agent executes it blindly without re-reading the board.
Requirement (Recoverability): The Agent MUST read the history. If it detects the [EVENT] ⚠️ tag, it implies the physical state has changed forcibly.
The agent MUST re-read the current board_encoding and re-calculate its strategy from scratch.
# Part 4: Strategic Reasoning Principles (Recommended)
To decide which move to propose, the Agent must follow this Hierarchical Decision Tree:
1. Priority Tree
Priority 1: Win NOW? Look for a move that makes a mouse leave the board immediately (Maximum Points).
Priority 2: Reach Exit? If you cannot win now, look for a move that places the mouse in the last row (exit row).
Priority 3: Clear Advance? Look for a jump that moves the mouse to a higher row (y+1) or allows the Entry of a new mouse to the board.
Priority 4: Strategic Maneuver? If there are no direct advances, look for an action that prepares the terrain for the future, breaks a block, or improves the general position.
Priority 5: Pre-Move (Full Board Phase)? Only if all gears are placed.
Check if you can modify the value b (initial base) of a gear before rotating.
Objective: Align bases to improve jump trajectory.
Mechanics: You can do the Pre-move on one gear and the rotation on another.
It is vital to prepare multi-turn combos.
Priority 6: Is it Local Maxima? (Optimization) Before confirming, analyze: Can it be improved?
Example: Instead of saving 1 mouse, can I save 2 with another rotation?
Priority 7: Placement Strategy (Future-Proofing) During Phase 1 (Placement), when putting a new gear, do not think only about the current turn.
Think about future rotation.
2. Placement Patterns (Vectors)
When placing gears (Priority 7), consider these geometric configurations to create future routes:
Case 1 (Vector 270º): If at P21 there is a vector pointing to 270º, place at P22 (neighbor) an empty base with the same vector (270º).
Effect: When rotating P21 +90º, they align (0º vs 180º) and the jump is created.
Case 2 (Vector 90º): If at P21 there is a vector pointing to 90º, place at P22 an empty base also at 90º.
Effect: When rotating P21 -90º, they align and the jump is created.
Case 3 (Opposition 0º/180º): If P21 has vector 0º, place at P22 a vector 180º.
Effect: Useful for moves 2 turns ahead.
Case 4 (Inversion 180º/0º): If P21 has vector 180º, place at P22 a vector 0º.
Effect: Prepares future trajectories after complex rotations.
3. Self-Evaluation Protocol
Before sending the final JSON, the Agent must ask itself a control question:
Does a lower priority action exist that offers a superior long-term result?
Example: Ignoring a "Clear Advance" (Priority 3) to execute a "Strategic Maneuver" (Priority 4) that will cause a Double Jump in the next turn.
Example: Are there two moves that achieve the same thing, but one leaves the mice in tactically superior positions (e.g., center of board vs dead corners)?
Only after this validation should the command field be generated.
# Part 5: Communication Protocol (A2A)
Once the Agent has decided its move, it must send an HTTP POST request to the server.
Endpoint: POST /submit_move
1. Command Syntax (Strict)
The command field must rigorously follow these formulas depending on the game phase:
Placement Phase (Inventory > 0): G<Tipo>@P<XY>(b=<InitRot>)<Turn>
Example: G2@P21(b=0)+90
Meaning: Place G2 at P21, oriented with base 0 to North, and then rotate everything +90º (counter-clockwise).
Simple Rotation Phase (Inventory = 0): G@P<XY><Turn>
Example: G@P11-90
Meaning: Rotate gear at P11 -90 degrees (clockwise).
Rotation Phase with Pre-Move (Inventory = 0): G@P<XY>:b=<N> ; G@P<XY><Turn>
Example: G@P13:b=1 ; G@P21+90
Meaning: First change the orientation of the gear at P13 to b=1 (90º, Left).
Afterward, apply the +90º rotation to the gear at P21 (propagating movement to the network).
Note: Allows adjusting future routes before executing the turn.
2. Response JSON Structure
The Agent must strictly separate Technical Syntax (command) from Strategic Logic (reasoning).
{
"agent_id": "GEMA-Purple-Proto",
// 1. THE MOVE (Syntax Only)
// Must comply with Regex defined above
"command": "G4@P12(b=2)-90",
// 2. THE REASONING (Human Text)
// Here explain "Why" following Priorities 1-7
"reasoning": "Place G4 at P12 with b=2 to connect to central Hub. By rotating -90, I free the route for M2.",
// 3. METADATA (Required for Leaderboard)
"meta": {
"token_usage": {
// IMPORTANT: Must be the ACCUMULATED value of the entire match so far.
"total": 114481
}
}
}
⚠️ Field Validation Rules
command (Strict):
✅ CORRECT: "G1@P11+90"
✅ CORRECT (Pre-Move): "G@P13:b=1 ; G@P21+90"
❌ INCORRECT: "G1@P11+90 because I want to win" (Parse Error).
❌ INCORRECT: "Move G1 to P11" (Syntax Error).
reasoning (Open):
It is a free text string.
For the Human Auditor: It is stored together with the move in the match log, allowing Action and Reasoning to be read on the same line.
For the Agent (Feedback): The server returns it in the next turn inside the last_reasoning field as a confirmation/memory mechanism.
It does not affect game physics but is vital for qualitative evaluation.
