Uploading to AiArena
TLDR: On each push to main there is a Github Actions workflow that builds a ladder ready zip. Take a
look on the Actions tab to download.
Included in this repository is a convenient script named scripts/create_ladder_zip.py.
However, it is important to note that the AIarena ladder infrastructure operates specifically
on Linux-based systems. Due to the dependency of ares-sc2 on cython, it is necessary to execute
this script on a Linux environment in order to generate Linux binaries.
To streamline this process, a GitHub workflow has been integrated into this repository when pushing to main
on your GitHub repository (if you previously created a template from the
starter-bot).
Upon each push to the main branch, the create_ladder_zip.py script is automatically executed on a
Debian-based system. As a result, a compressed artifact named ladder-zip.zip is generated,
facilitating the subsequent upload to AIarena. To access the generated file, navigate to the Actions tab,
click on an Action and refer to the Artifacts section. Please note this may take a few
minutes after pusing to the main branch.
