IronScheme bot template

IronSchemeBotRunner

IronScheme bot template for https://github.com/EntelectChallenge

This implements the same functionality as the C# basic bot, taking random actions.

A scheme library (space-invaders) wraps the most useful functionality to run the bot.

Tested on VS2015 CTP 6.

Build instructions

1. Open solution in VS
2. Build solution and allow Nuget packages to restore

Running instructions

1. Copy everything to the player1/player2 directory in the test harness
2. For first run or if space-invaders.sls is modified, run compile.bat
3. Run SpaceInvadersDuel.exe
4. Improve bot by editing your bot script, then go to step 3

Initialization notes

1. The bot runner will initialize the (space-invaders) library
2. It will then load the content of the bot script (default: basic-bot.sps) and execute it
3. The last expression's result will be written to the move.txt file

Other notes

• If you modify the bot script filename, adjust compile.bat to point to it
• To minimize startup speed, run ngen install IronSchemeBotRunner.exe
• IronScheme packages are restored from http://nuget.ironscheme.net
• You can find many more IronScheme libraries from the above Nuget source
