rossmacarthur / halite3-rust-starter

An alternate Rust Halite III starter kit.

rust-halite3-starter

This is an alternate Rust starter kit to the one provided in Halite III.

Additional features include:

• A lot more documentation.
• Use the log and simplelog crate so that the debug!, info! macros can be used for logging.
• Allow adding of Direction and Offset structs to Position structs. Subtracting two Positions returns an Offset.
• Derive Display/Into/From traits for ID new types so that they can be used like usizes.
• Add CLI for renaming the bot, overriding the log filename, and enabling/disabling logging.
• Use the failure crate for better error handling.
• Collect all constants from the Halite game engine.
• More idiomatic interaction with the Halite game engine.
• Improved API (in my opinion).
