MiniRTS LLM Benchmark

MiniRTS LLM Benchmark

Deterministic 11x11 grid RTS benchmark for LLMs.
No OCR, no UI automation, fast and reproducible.
Strict 30 action cap.

Install

pip install mirts-bench

Run

polybench run --difficulty hard --opponents 7 --games 1

LLM command (stdin prompt → stdout JSON):

polybench run --difficulty hard --opponents 7 --games 1 --llm-cmd "python examples\\echo_llm.py"

OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoint:

polybench run --difficulty hard --opponents 7 --games 1 --llm-host http://localhost:8000 --llm-model your-model --llm-api-key YOUR_KEY

Env alternative:

$env:POLYBENCH_LLM_HOST = "http://localhost:8000"
$env:POLYBENCH_LLM_MODEL = "your-model"
$env:POLYBENCH_LLM_API_KEY = "YOUR_KEY"
polybench run --difficulty hard --opponents 7 --games 1

Kaggle (local, no ngrok)

Run inside a Kaggle notebook with kaggle-benchmarks available.

!pip -q install kaggle-benchmarks mirts-bench

!polybench run --difficulty hard --opponents 7 --games 1 --llm-provider kaggle --llm-model google/gemini-2.5-flash

If --llm-model is omitted, the default Kaggle LLM is used.

Python API

import polybench

cfg = polybench.RunConfig(
    difficulty="easy",
    opponents=1,
    games=1,
    llm_host="http://localhost:8000",
    llm_model="your-model",
    llm_api_key="YOUR_KEY",
)
polybench.run_benchmark(cfg)

How it works

• Generates a deterministic 11x11 grid with cities, resources, and blockers.
• Builds a prompt from the current state.
• LLM returns a JSON action.
• The engine applies the action and advances the turn.
• Stops after 30 actions and scores the result.

Action schema

Allowed action types:

• end_turn
• move
• attack
• train
• build
• research

Unit and city identifiers are grid coordinates:

{ "type": "move", "unit_id": { "x": 3, "y": 5 }, "to": { "x": 4, "y": 5 } }

Output

Each run writes:

• runs/<timestamp>_<difficulty>_<opponents>/game_###/turn_###_prompt.txt
• runs/<timestamp>_<difficulty>_<opponents>/game_###/turn_###_response.txt
• runs/<timestamp>_<difficulty>_<opponents>/game_###/turn_###_action.json
• runs/<timestamp>_<difficulty>_<opponents>/summary.json

Options

polybench run supports:

• --difficulty easy | normal | hard | crazy
• --opponents 1 | 7 | 15
• --games (default 1)
• --llm-cmd external command that reads prompt on stdin and returns JSON on stdout
• --llm-provider openai | kaggle
• --llm-host HTTP base URL (OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions)
• --llm-model model name for HTTP LLM
• --llm-api-key API key for HTTP LLM (or set POLYBENCH_LLM_API_KEY)
• --k-factor ELO K (default 32)
• --opponent-elo (default 1000)
• --start-elo (default 1000)
