2012-12-21T02:59:38  <crimbox> smiley1983, do all the starter kits need to be modified?
2012-12-21T02:59:46  <crimbox> im trying to get the java one working
2012-12-21T03:02:05  <smiley1983> it's possible to make the change in tcpclient instead, see this post: http://forums.aichallenge.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3641#p16399
2012-12-21T03:02:41  <smiley1983> and the post before, for info on modifying the starters
2012-12-21T03:04:03  <smiley1983> but if you make the change in tcpclient, it only needs to be done once and can then be used with all the old bots

2012-12-21T03:09:50  <smiley1983> of course, if you want to write a bot using the starter, then it's probably best to update it to use the new format
2012-12-21T03:18:13  <crimbox> smiley1983 is your server down?
2012-12-21T03:34:53  <smiley1983> crimbox: rebooting, some of the webservers were down though games were still running
2012-12-21T03:35:21  <crimbox> smiley1983, im really having trouble getting the bot to do something
2012-12-21T03:36:07  <crimbox> how do i debug?
2012-12-21T03:37:25  <smiley1983> first, use the copy in pw_dist for local testing
2012-12-21T03:37:48  <smiley1983> Some of the options you can give to playgame.py relate to what info it writes to game_logs
2012-12-21T03:38:28  <smiley1983> you can get it to write each bot's stdin, stdout and stderr streams, and then log info to stderr within the bot code
2012-12-21T03:39:03  <smiley1983> I'
2012-12-21T03:39:24  <crimbox> what language did you write your bot in?
2012-12-21T03:39:37  <smiley1983> ve never done any debugging of error streams from tcp games, but I think you can just capture everything from stdout
2012-12-21T03:39:42  <smiley1983> ocaml
2012-12-21T03:39:56  <smiley1983> for bot planetwars and ants
2012-12-21T03:40:01  <smiley1983> bot -> both
2012-12-21T03:40:37  <crimbox> all of the starterkits are java bots
2012-12-21T03:41:08  <crimbox> i cant remember where i found the python kit
2012-12-21T03:42:54  <smiley1983> Those java bots, Ragebot and so on, will be the sample opponents; the python starter is here: https://github.com/smiley1983/ants-tcp/tree/master/planetwars/pw-dist/planetwars/dist/starter_bots
2012-12-21T03:43:20  <smiley1983> I don't know why there are two python directories there, or which one is correct
2012-12-21T03:44:59  <smiley1983> Also, if you checkout the original pw code from here, you can get some more starters from planet_wars/starter_packages : http://code.google.com/p/ai-contest/source/checkout

2012-12-21T04:58:10  <crimbox> then where would the problem lie?
2012-12-21T04:58:27  <smiley1983> first, I suggest testing your bot locally to make sure the environment is right
2012-12-21T04:59:01  <smiley1983> to do this, go to the pw_dist directory (in the same parent directory as planetwars_tcp)
2012-12-21T04:59:18  <smiley1983> copy the play_one_game.sh to test.sh
2012-12-21T04:59:29  <smiley1983> (are you on linux or windows? you
2012-12-21T04:59:46  <crimbox> mac
2012-12-21T05:00:04  <smiley1983> okay, so I think the .sh files might work correctly
2012-12-21T05:00:32  <smiley1983> then edit test.sh so it specifies your bot as well as the one it currently has
2012-12-21T05:01:04  <smiley1983> (if only one bot is specified, it uses the same command for both)
2012-12-21T05:01:37  <smiley1983> then, running test.sh should run a game and load the replay in a browser
2012-12-21T05:02:05  <smiley1983> or it will spit out some errors if something is wrong
2012-12-21T05:06:06  <crimbox> env: python2: No such file or directory
2012-12-21T05:07:49  <smiley1983> okay, first thing is to change "python2" to "python" in the bot-running commands
2012-12-21T05:08:40  <smiley1983> in test.sh, that is
2012-12-21T05:08:50  <crimbox> yep same error
2012-12-21T05:09:52  <smiley1983> hm... there are definitely no more instances of "python2" in the script, and it still complains that there's no python2?
2012-12-21T05:10:34  <crimbox> ok i went through all the files in pw-dist and changed python2 to python
2012-12-21T05:10:50  <smiley1983> same result?

2012-12-21T05:13:35  <smiley1983> that's... strange... assuming that the "visualizer" directory exists and it contains "visualize_locally.py", I don't know what to suggest except possibly removing references to it from playgame.py. However, before doing something so drastic, there's something else to try:
2012-12-21T05:14:01  <smiley1983> I tried running a game against the server and catching its output, and you can at least see what commands you're sending:
2012-12-21T05:14:53  <smiley1983> if you have a script called tcp_game.sh, you can catch the output:
2012-12-21T05:15:06  <smiley1983> ./tcpgame.sh > tcp.log
2012-12-21T05:15:33  <smiley1983> then edit tcp.log, and the lines between the two "go" lines on each turn will be your bot's output
2012-12-21T05:16:16  <smiley1983> if you want to paste such a log somewhere, I'll have a look through it
