Like a couple of others here I tried checking out this project [1] and running these 2.3 million random battles. The README says everything needs to be run in docker, and indeed the test script uses docker and fails without it, but there are no docker/compose files in the repo.

It's great that the repo is provided, but people are clamouring for proof of the extraordinary powers of AI. If the claim is that it allowed 100 kloc to be ported in one month by one dev and the result passes a gazillion tests that prove it actually replicates the desired functionality, that's really interesting! How hard would it be, then, to actually have the repo in a state where people can run those tests?

Unless the repo is updated so the tests can be run, my default assumption has to be that the whole thing is broken to the point of uselessness.
