Caia is a system that you can use to test and improve your CodeCup submission from home. Caia is used by both advanced competitors as well as beginners.

There are six different versions of the Caia-distribution for the game 0.1:
To get started, please take a look at the Caia tutorial for Linux/OSX or Windows.
The Caia Project is the result of the need to have software to play competitions between programmed client players of strategic games from their own homes. That software is now available under a Linux environment.

The competion manager can organise full competitions.
This new manager can replace the normal manager executable if you don't just want
to test your program, but with the competition manager you can organise a competition where
each of your programs play against all other programs.
The competition manager is included in all distributions of Caia.
The first caia distribution was published in 2004 (CodeCup 2005). This old package (which uses an outdated caiaio) contains examples for the referee and the manager. You can use these examples. It is adviced to replace the caiaio files, which are included in the Caia-distribution for the game of this year.
