#Intro
This project is a platform for running the Hut Group Dev Challenge 2016 by building on the Robocode platform. It setups up a knockout tournament with free-for-all style matches from a given list of participants.
#Format: ##Knockout Round: Bots randomly grouped into brackets. Each bracket competes in a free-for-all. Winners from each bracket will compete in a final free-for-all battle.
##Scoring: There will be 100 rounds. More emphasis will be given to later rounds, you should use the initial rounds to learn. (Weighting of the score of a round will increase linearly). The score for a round is based on:
- Energy left
- Ram damage
- Gun damage (Note: accuracy is irrelevant)
#Setup:
##Developing a Bot:
Vlad will contribute to this section though I imagine it will consist of the following steps:
- Download and install robocode
- Run robocode with the sample bots
- Clone the sample repository
- Build the sample bot
- Run it with the sample bot
- Add a feature and repeat the above
##Running THGEngine:
WIP not ready yet
- Clone and unpack the solution
- Add your jar to the robots directory
- Run sanity_check.sh (to check whether your setup is fine)
- Run
thgengine.sh <list of participating bots>
#Prizes: TBD
#Notes
Teams should have distinct names
#Todo
- Run a check that the team names of all jars are distinct
- Develop a tool to check the sanity of a solution
