tron test tourney - Feb 11
We now have infrastructure for a tournament with game replays.
I'll walk through it:
Discuss the test tourney I ran yesterday: rooms, bots, replay files, ...
Seven maps for this first tourney: (empty-room, huge-room, quadrant, ring, toronto, trix, u).
Go around the room and see where you are with your bots. Questions?
Discuss algorithms?
- What properties of the board do you want to calculate?
- Methodologies?
Put together our first tourney??
update
Jim 5:30pm , after class :
We decided to wait until Thu (or so) to try our first tourney.
Please do still submit something on the homework submission page,
at least describing where you are and what you're working on,
with what you have for code so far.
I also described how to make a file executable :
$ chmod +x yourbot.py
In addition, we found that one possible bugs is in the use
of log files and their names : if you're using a relative
logfile name like "log.txt" (as opposed to a global one
like "/home/user/stuff/log.txt"), then your bot may crash
if it doesn't find that file, if the bot is launched
from a different working directory. In particular,
the "run" script executes bots from the tron-engine/ folder.
