Implementation ideas

• BZRobots/ShotsAndEnemies

Feature ideas

Scripting

• Integrate python as a scripting language on top of C++
• Be able to load C++ or python modules transparently.

API functions

• Provide global, team, admin, and report chat APIs so bots can communicate just like players, perhaps with some parsing helper functions.
• Provide an API for visual targets based on the same rules a player would see.
• Have methods to compute travel paths to desired locations, with updates for moving targets.

Input

• Allows input of coordinates/properties from stdin, so info from other apps, gps, etc. can be pumped into the bot
