About BZRobots
BZRobots is a programmable computer player client that is compatible with the bzfs servers.
How to build
-Linux/OS X- The BZRobots client will by default as a standard part of the bzflag trunk build. You will need to add an extra option to the ./configure in order to use Python
-Windows- Open the bzrobots solution, and build the bzrobots project, and the testbot project
Example of use
(Note: Due to the use of libtool, the TestRobot.so is in the .libs directory)
# cd bzflag/src/bzrobots # ./bzrobots -team red robot@localhost .libs/TestRobot.so
Linux/OS X: Python [.py]
# cd bzflag/src/bzrobots # ./bzrobots -team red robot@localhost ../../bots/python/StalkBot.py
(Note: While bzrobots and the bot dll will build and execute on Windows, it is not currently functional. The following should only be considered useful for development and debugging purposes)
# cd bzflag # ./bzrobots -team red robot@localhost testbot.dll
