Presumably you've cloned the repo by now.
# Install the project dependencies
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
# Run the sample robots
$ bundle exec rrobots bots/*.rb
At this point, you should witness a battle between our two default AIs.
Now we'll set up the git workflow.
$ git checkout -b [your-team-name]
$ git push --set-upstream origin [your-team-name]
Copy one of the existing files in the bots/ directory and make your own. Please limit yourself to one file. Classname must match filename. Once you've tested your bot locally, you can push your code in time for the tournament (see below). Only ever push to your branch, it will be automatically merged into master on the server.
$ git push
After the tournament, you might want to pull everyone's code - this is open source after all!
$ git pull origin master
Rinse and repeat.
Tournaments will be automatically run every 20 minutes with whatever code has been pushed at the time.
We'll run with the arguments:
--resolution "1600,900" --timeout 2500
Bots are scored on a kind of KDR (Kill/Deaths Ratio) but with energy instead of lives.
def score
(damage_given.to_f + 1) / (damage_taken.to_f + 1)
end
You may have a problem installing the GOSU library.. if so.. there's a helpful error message which links to this:
