BZRobots/History
Overview
This page describes the Programmable Computer Player Client project for the Google Summer Of Code. The project is being developed by Jørgen Pedersen Tjernø (AKA daxxar) as described on the GSoC Wiki Page. Development updates are posted to the dev blog at http://gsoc.daxxar.com. The code will be kept in the BZFlag subversion system at http://bzflag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bzflag/trunk/bzflag/src/bzrobots.
Architecture
The architecture will be designed in such a way that a client component (similar to the current bzrobots) takes commands via a defined protocol from an AI component. The client component will be called the 'backend'. The 'frontend' will be what executes the AI logic, and takes care of communication with the 'backend'.
