Deployment instructions

[lachiemurray]

Would love to be able to deploy a local version of the ants AI challenge (http://ants.aichallenge.org/) for a private competition. Would this be possible? And are there any instructions (further to INSTALL.md) on how to do so?

Thanks!

Hi!

Getting this code to run on current linux systems would require quite a bit of effort. I was looking at this problem a few months ago and put together a basic Django site with enough "glue" to get the aichallenge games running again:

You can see a live version of the site here:

If you have any questions, I would be happy to help if I can.

Cool thanks for the tip @smiley1983 I'll take a look!

@smiley1983 Hello there, I am very interested in your work. Can you instruct me how to deploy your work manually, please? Thank you.

@dracarys1312 Hello, thank you for your interest. :)

The instructions in the readme should work on current Ubuntu systems, starting with setup.sh - it requires python3 and pip3 to be installed already. Possibly some other things as well.

I should mention that I stopped work on this when it reached a basic level of functionalty, and many planned features have not been implemented yet. For example, matchmaking is completely random at the moment. If you encounter any problems, please feel free to open issues on that repo, though it might be a while before I'm able to look at working on it again.
