Overview[edit]
This page describes the BZRobots Enhanced Protocol that forms the internals of the BZFlag Programmable Computer Player Client
Description[edit]
The BZRobots client currently consists of two parts called the "backend" and the "frontend". The "backend" is a lightweight game client that communicates with BZFS. It also runs a lightweight line-by-line text-based server, on which commands can be sent to control a robot. The "frontend" is an instance of a BZAdvancedRobot, including the necessary parts to communicate with the "backend".
Available Commands[edit]
See the BZRobots/API for the commands currently available to the BZRobots protocol.
Legacy[edit]
Eventually, in an effort to simplify the internals of BZRobots, the "frontend" and "backend" will likely be altogether removed, thereby eliminating the internal protocol. It is recommended to develop bots in C or Python using the published API, rather than attempting to develop a seperate client for the BZRobot backend.
