The Arch archive now has some preliminary AI client code. If any of you
were waiting for your chance to program the Greatest Scotland Yard AI
Ever, you could probably get started any time.
* londonlaw/common/path has a number of algorithms for pathfinding
and determining sets of locations where a pawn could travel or
could be located.
* londonlaw/aiclients/base.py has an AI client base class
that takes care of most of the work of talking to the server,
maintaining a game history data structure, etc. A minimal
functional client just needs to inherit BaseAIProtocol and override
doTurn().
* londonlaw/aiclients/{x_simple.py, detective_simple.py} are a pair of
rather dumb but functional proof-of-concept clients. They should
give you an idea how to write your own. In the same directory are
the launcher scripts, which can be executed like:
$ cd <londonlaw source tree root>
$ export PYTHONPATH=$PWD
$ python londonlaw/aiclients/x_simple_launcher.py "name of game to join"
If there are some obvious building-block algorithms that should be in
path.py or the AI base class, this would be a good time to bring it up.
