Tutorial

Coding your first team in python using strategyPy.py

import Robocup as RC #Do Not edit this line
def selectSkill(world_data): #Do Not edit this line
    robocup = RC.Robocup(world_data) #Do Not edit this line

    if robocup.playerNumber() == 1:
        return robocup.STAND()
    else:
        if robocup.gameSide() == 0:
            return robocup.HARD_KICK(robocup.GOAL_LEFT_CENTRE_X +0.1,robocup.GOAL_LEFT_CENTRE_Y)
        else:
            return robocup.HARD_KICK(robocup.GOAL_RIGHT_CENTRE_X -0.1,robocup.GOAL_RIGHT_CEN

The above is example code showing a single 2 player team, where player 0 acts as goalie and player 1 goes ahead to score a goal.

In your verison, do not edit the first 3 lines, these are necessary for running a game.

You must always return a skill from the robocup class. See provided documentation for the Robocup class in Robocup.py for a list of these skills, and how to call on them.

The above mentioned documentation provides a detailed list of the rest of the class and how to use it. See also the original documentation.

To return a specific skill, use the following format:

return robocup.<YOUR CHOSEN SKILL>

Debugging your code using sandbox.py

Often the singularity fails to notify you if your python code is not compiling/running correctly, use sandbox.py to quickly check if your code is able to run.

To use the sandbox: Navigate to the Behaviors folder in the Code_Base with your terminal, then run the following line in terminal:

python sandbox.py

This checks your selectSkill() function in strategyPy.py against a single instance of world model data to see if it is returning a skill correctly. It will also reveal any syntax errors or bugs in your code.
