What is it?

A dopewars AI bot

Features:

License:

Download:

It's a single perl script. There is also an example bot available.

Documentation?

First you need to get dopewars, a fantastic game. This bot currently talks to dopewars version 1.4.8, but would be easy to upgrade.

First start the dopewars server:

% dopewars -s

Then start up the dopewars bot:

% dAIve

You can write your own AI to make decisions by chopping that code out of dAIve and putting it into a new file, and calling that with dAIve. Or, this has been done for you, just grab Dopey and then you can run that instead:

% dAIve Dopey

Unfortunately the programming interface isn't documented or 100% complete, but if you understand perl5, it shouldn't be too hard.

Requires:

  1. Perl, which kicks ass

Install

It's just a perl script. No install required.

Freshmeat?

You bet.
