This repository contains source code of the engine for MechMania 28. You should be able to download the executable jar file and run the game as follows with your own bots.
Download the jar exeutable from release.
Make sure you have Java installed on your computer. The engine is compiled with Java 11 so make sure you have version >= 11 with java -v.
Run java -jar path/to/engine.jar to start the engine.
Then, run any desired copies of Java or Python bots following instructions over there.
After a successful run, a file output with name game_<timestamp>.json will show up in the gamelog folder.
You will need Visualizer to see the actual gameplay out.
We are not professional developers and we make mistakes. If you think anything is wrong or have any questions, feel free to reach out in the Discord or in person with Mechmania staff!
