Template Rust Bot

A Rust-based bot template for a game competition system. This project implements a web API server that provides endpoints for bot interaction in a turn-based game.

Prerequisites

• Rust (latest stable version)
• Cargo (comes with Rust installation)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd template-rust

2. Install dependencies:

cargo build

Running the Project

Start the server:

cargo run

The server will start and listen on http://0.0.0.0:6000

For development with automatic recompilation, you can use:

cargo watch -x run

(requires cargo install cargo-watch)

API Endpoints

• GET /info - Returns bot information
• POST /play - Accepts game state and returns bot action

Development

Quick Commands

cargo check    # Fast compilation check
cargo clippy   # Linting
cargo fmt      # Code formatting
cargo test     # Run tests (if any)

Building for Production

cargo build --release

The release build is highly optimized with LTO, single codegen unit, and debug symbols stripped for maximum performance.

Bot Logic

The bot's decision-making logic is implemented in src/services/bot_service.rs. The current implementation randomly selects actions as a starting template. Modify the play function to implement your game strategy.
