Thanks again,
Game Engine team 
So excited to get started early for a change…
Lets see what Entelect has for us this year, Will say if i find anything interesting while I’m digging through this…
Thanks for the update!
However, when I try to run the run.cmd file, the below happens. Still missing the Dockerfile, it seems?
(unless I’m just doing something silly)
run.cmd

I have had the same issue on linux.

I managed to get the engine running, with a bit of effort.
Now that I have done that, I have another question - where are the replay logs stored? I can see a file called engGame.json that seems to contain game summaries, but not a tick-by-tick replay of a match.
Edit: Nevermind, I found the log.gz file. 
Did you get it to work with run file or visual studio maybe?
I took some inspiration from @cairnswm’s post here:
Install the .NET 8.0 SDK and run dotnet run Sproutopia.csproj in the Sproutopia directory.
I’m back on the game engine log files - I tend to use them quite extensively when testing and debugging a bot.
Can we please get game state logs in valid Json? The content of the log file in the log.gz archive that the engine generates is in a Json-like structure, but it does not appear to be valid Json (see below).

Running it through jsonlint.com produces the below:
