 This is a Go bot that can be used to play the game of Lighthouses on the CodeConz platform.
 
 ## Interaction flow with the Game Engine
+
 ![Interaction Flow](./docs/interaction_flow.png)
 
 The bot interacts with the game engine in three steps:
-1. **Join Game**: The bot sends a join request to the game engine to join the game. The game engine responds with the Bot ID.
-2. **Get Initial State**: The game engine sends get the initial state of the game to the bots.

+1. **Join Game**: The bot sends a join request to the game engine to join the
+game. The game engine responds with the Bot ID.
+2. **Get Initial State**: The game engine sends get the initial state of the
+   game to the bots.
 3. **Turn request**: The game engine requests the bot to make an action on each turn, and sends the current state to the bot. The bot responds with the action.
