About BZRobots
BZRobots is a programmable computer player client that is compatible with the bzfs servers. It is designed to be an artificial intelligence training and development tool that operates under the BZFlag platform
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
