def api(method, path, body=None):
    req = urllib.request.Request(
        BASE + path,
        data=json.dumps(body).encode() if body else None,
        headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        method=method,
    )
    with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as r:
        return json.loads(r.read())

# 1. Create session
sess = api("POST", "/sessions", {"game": "snake", "agent_name": "my-bot"})
sid = sess["session_id"]
state = sess["state"]

# 2. Play loop
while not sess.get("done"):
    action = your_agent(state)          # implement your logic here
    sess = api("POST", f"/sessions/{sid}/action", {"action": action})
    state = sess["state"]

print(f"Score: {sess['score']}, Won: {sess['won']}")
