tron server/client/api for linux and windows in turing and python

tron

Tron game server, client, and library for Python and Turing.

Rules

Each iteration lasts at most 0.1 s (by default) and the initial position is a 50x49 board with the two light cycles pointed at each other. Because of the timeout, it makes sense to disable drawing the game unless you're debugging.

Server requirements

You need twisted, python, and a web server with autoindex, such as Apache, nginx or even python -mSimpleHTTPServer.

Usage

Run ./tron.py and navigate to ./viewer.html

Packaging for Windows or Turing

Run make tron-win32.zip to package twisted and zope for Windows users.

Bots

Included

Turing

tron_sample.t uses the module in tron.tu and implements a greedy algorithm.

Python

tron_sample.py uses the module in tron.py and implements the same greedy algorithm as tron_sample.t.

User-controlled

tron_tester.py accepts keyboard input for the bot.

Strong bots

voronoi.py and negamax.py are examples of stronger bots. Compiled and optimized binaries are included. They're based off of: http://www.a1k0n.net/2010/03/04/google-ai-postmortem.html

Custom

You can import tron.tu or tron.py and make your own bot. You need a bot name and unique key (for tracking wins and losses). Encryption is not supported. See tron_sample.* for examples.
