Our Strategy

Enlightenment Centers

• Bid if influence is above a certain threshold (maybe enough influence to make a certain bot?) after creating specified amount of bots
• Bot creation priority: muckrakers, politicians, slanderers?
• need to decide how much influence to allocate each robot
• inform politician about location

Muckrakers

• send muckrakers in first to find as many slanderers as possible
• if a muckraker detects a robot, move closer to it
• if a muckraker finds an enlightment center, set a flag
• if a muckraker finds a politician, set a flag
• if a muckraker finds a muckraker, set a flag

Slanderers

• hide slanderers (can they sense other robots?)
• move away from muckraker flags

Politicians

• send politicians to flag
• priority: neutral enlightenment center, other politicians, muckrakers, enemy enlightenment centers (This may be something we want to change as we see results)
• empower at the destination

Battlecode 2021 Scaffold

This is the Battlecode 2021 scaffold, containing an examplefuncsplayer. Read https://2021.battlecode.org/getting-started!

Project Structure

• README.md This file.
• build.gradle The Gradle build file used to build and run players.
• src/ Player source code.
• test/ Player test code.
• client/ Contains the client. The proper executable can be found in this folder (don't move this!)
• build/ Contains compiled player code and other artifacts of the build process. Can be safely ignored.
• matches/ The output folder for match files.
• maps/ The default folder for custom maps.
• gradlew, gradlew.bat The Unix (OS X/Linux) and Windows versions, respectively, of the Gradle wrapper. These are nifty scripts that you can execute in a terminal to run the Gradle build tasks of this project. If you aren't planning to do command line development, these can be safely ignored.
• gradle/ Contains files used by the Gradle wrapper scripts. Can be safely ignored.

Useful Commands

• ./gradlew run Runs a game with the settings in gradle.properties
• ./gradlew update Update to the newest version! Run every so often
