Tanks!

The premise

This is a simple game in which you have a tank, and you have to kill everybody. The idea of the game is that you have to write a C++ class, which will control the tank. And kill everybody.

Compilation

Under Linux you should be able to use make, and run the game with ./main. In Windows you can open the Visual Studio project.

SFML

The game needs the SFML library. In linux you can install it by: sudo apt install libsfml-dev

In Windows the Visual Studio project is set up to search for the SFML library in the project directory. You can change the paths (and libs) to fit your installation.

Running

The game has some commandline options:

• -f - full screen mode
• -m - mute sound
• -o number - number of random obstacles
• -e - display hitboxes
• -x - display only box extents
• -t seconds - set time limit
• -fps fps - fps (default 24)
• [bot name]:[number of tanks] - you can supply the list players (bots) to include in the fight (with number of respective tanks)

Tournament

There will be an online tournament of the created bots.

How to participate

Participation is restricted to the students of MEiL PW for now. To participate you have to scan a QR code on the corridor of the faculty. After scaning the code you will have your private copy of repository. You can edit out the src/Bot/BotPlayer.cpp to develop your AI player.

How we include your bot

Your repository will be cloned (every some time). We then run preliminary tests, and if your repo is working, we copy your src/Bot/... files. Then we replace the name of the namespace MyNamespace (so that there will not be conflicts with other bots), and player name SimpleBot. This will be done just as text replacement, so remember not to mess with these.

Update your repo

As there will be changes happening to the main repository, it is important to update your reposiotory with the original. To do it, first add the address of the upstream repo:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/ccfd/tanks.git

Then you have to fetch the data from the upstream, and merge:

git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master

Hacking

Yes. We know you can hack this tournament in 666 ways. Yeah. Good for you. If you want to hack something, hack Putin's girlfriend instagram account. See how it goes. This game is to have fun creating AI for a funkin' tank, not to deal with wannabe hackers making fork bombs.

If you cannot participate

If you cannot participate in the tournament, but would like to play with the game, just fork it.
