Hi,

Mine is named: BananaBot

http://theaigames.com/competitions/warlight-ai-challenge/game-log/psenough_warlight/

Also, i put "warlight" as my institute, to say i'm from this community, i don't know if it is ok...Fizzer?

Mine is called Muli
http://theaigames.com/competitions/warlight-ai-challenge/game-log/muli/1

It can already deploy Armies ;-)

haha nice Muli, i'm so far from having a viable bot

there is no starter bot for c++ so mine wont be up for another few hours... finaly about to start programming it.

Icelandic Turtles will be entering a bot but its still being worked on

39 versions just to get the damn thing to pick starting terretories tells me 3 things:
1. I'm crap at Python
2. I'm crap at coding
3. I'm not going to win

Frustratingly good fun though :)

i think it took me even more version to get the starting territories. Right now i am at version 128 and i just started the "place_armies_moves" thing.... let's not give up :D

We've got knowledge of warlight tactics on our side, so if (after version 5000) we can program the damn bot properly it should be an easy win, right? ;)

yeah..that's what i think too. I know exactly what i want to write for my bot, but every time i spend 1hour writing 10lines, i spend 2 hours debugging it. That's very annoying. If i manage to code what i want for my bot , i can't see how i would not get top5

Ok, I figured out how to update the map with my deployments before I make my moves, but I can't find a way to update the opponent deployments before I attack/transfer. Is that even possible? Or allowed?

I don't understand what you mean. Do you want to uptate the opponent's deployments as of the deployments he made the previous turn, or do you mean uptade the deployments he made for the current turn, like you could see them before attack/transfer? I mean in Warlight you only see your opponent's deployments after you commited all your moves including attack/transfer, so it works the same here. you can't "get current turn opponent's deployement" then chose to attack or not.

btw, i tried the move.getType() method, but for some reason, there isn't any "getters" in the Move class that works in the BotStarter: any ideas?


src/bot/BotStarter.java:557: error: cannot find symbol
if (mov.getRegion().equals(reg)) {
^
symbol: method getRegion()
location: variable mov of type Move
src/bot/BotStarter.java:558: error: cannot find symbol
if (mov.getType().equals("place_armies")) {
^
symbol: method getType()
location: variable mov of type Move
src/bot/BotStarter.java:559: error: cannot find symbol
reinforcementOnRegion += mov.getArmies();
^
symbol: method getArmies()
location: variable mov of type Move
3 errors

I couldn't help it. Anyways, did some research seems fun to do computer coding and such, but I only have a google chromebook, and they lack any good apps for any kind of coding other than a really slow app for C.

Try a website called Codeacademy.

thanks I want to learn some basic code anyway

you only really need a text editor (i.e. text pad) to take part in this competition, does your chromebook have anything like that? you don't have to compile the code yourself, you just write the code, zip it, then upload it to the website.
