Requirements

Build

After implementing your code in AI.py, you may need to run it. Below are the instructions to build and execute the client project.

Using Command Line

To fetch and build the project use the following commands:

cd <path to working directory>
git clone https://github.com/SharifAIChallenge/AIC20-Client-Python
cd AIC20-Client-Python

Now you have to run the server ".jar" file and then you should controller.py 4 times. Each time you run controller a new client connects to the game. You can implement different AIs for different clients and run their controllers seperately.

Using Pycharm

You can download Jetbrains Pycharm from this link.

This IDE allows quick and easier usage.

1. Run the server using the command line located below the page in Pycharm and enter the following code:

cd your_server_directory/
java -jar server_jar_file.jar

2. Run controller.py by right clicking and choosing Run 'controller' option:

3. Allow parallel runs:

• Click on the configuration of python
• Choose edit Configurations
• Click the check box with label Allow parallel run
• run the controller again for four times

Multiple codes

For multiple codes you can copy the rest of the client source code and simply change the AI.py file as you will. Then run the controller for each source code
