Tanxees Arena Edition

Tank icon

First of all, to give this project a try, download our release. It contains the UI client for this game (the only component which source isn't published here)

Client screenshot

In this repository you can find the server and API for Java and Python languages.

Building

To build the project, simply run

gradle copyJars

in the root directory. That will build everything and put into target directory.

Running server

To run the server, go to its folder and there use

gradle run

Hacking the dumb bot in Java

To use Java bot API, start with a sample client.ai.java.dumb project. To run the project, enter the directory client.ai.java.dumb and type

gradle run -PplayerId=bot1

(you may use bot2 or bot3 instead)

Start your own AI with modifying the tanxees.client.ai.java.dumb.Main class as you wish. Happy hacking!

Hacking the dumb bot in Python

To use Python bot API, start with a sample client.ai.python.dumb repository. To run the project do the following:

  • Get new enough Python (2.7 or >=3.4 will do)
  • Run "pip install websocket-client wsaccel"
  • Launch the server
  • Add full path to client.ai.python/src to PYTHONPATH environment variable (that's the directory that holds Python API, not yet available as a package), e.g. like this:
export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/client.ai.python/src:$PYTHONPATH
  • Launch "python Bot.py bot1"

Happy hacking! Start with Bot.py as a sample and create a fun-to-watch or clever AI.
