A program to orchestrate Entellect Challenge bot matches. The Entellect Challenge is a Tron AI competition.
Named after Master Control Program (MCP) from the Tron movies. To contribute back just send a pull request on https://github.com/keegancsmith/MCP or https://bitbucket.org/keegan_csmith/mcp
The only dependency for MCP is Python 2.7 (although it may work on Python
3.x). Just run ./mcp.py. Alternatively you can install the script with
distutils. Just run python setup.py install in the current directory. A
program called mcp should then be on your $PATH.
To run against a random AI run:
$ mcp local --player1 '/path/to/your/ai' --player2 'mcp ai random'
You can adjust player1 and player2 accordingly. The default command to run
for a player is start.sh or start.bat (depending if you are on a UNIX
variant or not).
MCP has other functionality. Pass --help to the command to find out more:
$ mcp --help $ mcp remote --help
http://mcpweb.carruthers.za.net/ is a website which allows remote games. Create a new game then get your player URL for that game. You can then play in that game with MCP:
$ mcp remote http://mcpweb.carruthers.za.net/game/1/bgtmKbl4Z2/
The "/bgtmKbl4Z2/" in the URL is a random private identifier which identifies you for that game. Your opponent will have a different identifier.
