| 18:59.01 | Posterdati | hi |
| 18:59.14 | Posterdati | is there an api to program bots for bzflag? |
| 19:01.43 | blast007 | kinda but not really |
| 19:02.20 | blast007 | 2.4 has the initial bits of 'server side players', but it's not enough to have actual bot tanks driving around |
| 19:03.59 | blast007 | there was also a BZRobots (or something like that) that a university had made for teaching AI, but I don't know what version of the game that targets |
| 19:04.14 | blast007 | what kind of bots did you have in mind? |
| 19:04.35 | Posterdati | I think it would be not so difficult to create a program connecting to a bzflag server and act as a human player (for the commands part not considering the brain)! |
| 19:05.16 | Posterdati | blast007: a bot which connects to a server and act like a normal user (intelligence apart) |
| 19:05.44 | Posterdati | http://wiki.cs.byu.edu/facwiki/scraped-cs470sp10/cs470sp10/index.php/BZFlag_Tutorial_Homework.html |
| 19:06.47 | blast007 | yeah, that's it :) |
| 19:07.45 | Posterdati | is there a network api? |
| 19:07.58 | Posterdati | the connection protocol I mean |
| 19:08.18 | blast007 | there's a protocol |
| 19:13.14 | Posterdati | https://wiki.bzflag.org/Network_Protocol |
| 19:13.19 | Posterdati | do you mean this? |
| 19:13.21 | blast007 | we don't have any kind of game simulation library broken out though |
| 19:13.45 | blast007 | we don't have any updated network documentation |
| 19:13.48 | blast007 | you'd have to read the code |
| 19:14.02 | blast007 | and the network protocol is only a small part of it |
| 19:14.25 | blast007 | the simulation code is important too |
| 19:14.52 | *** join/#bzflag Void7 (~Void7@205.157.147.198) |
| 19:21.08 | blast007 | it would be easier to just modify the client |
| 19:30.13 | blast007 | (hmm, and that byu.edu link above might not be the exact thing I was thinking of. seems like BZRFlag is a standalone python program that runs the simulation, using the same BZRC protocol they used to use when it worked with the real BZFlag server) |

| 19:43.56 | blast007 | tupone / tupone_: could you elaborate more on the subdir-objects issue? I think the main problem zone there is our unit tests, and there's probably a better way to do that. That was my first attempt at any kind of unit testing. |
| 19:44.17 | blast007 | bzadmin was the other offender, which might just go away in 2.6 |
| 19:45.35 | *** join/#bzflag jcp_ (uid143528@bzflag/contributor/javawizard2539) |
| 19:46.39 | blast007 | we could probably still fix that to not use ServerLink.cxx from a different directory (src/bzflag) in 2.4, though |
| 19:48.32 | blast007 | not sure if there was some major reason why ServerLink.cxx/h couldn't go into, say, src/net/ |

| 20:31.34 | tupone_ | From what I understand building the same source and getting 2 obj (by using different macro definition) is not valid in the model where object are in a different directory. Unless the two compilation are from the same Makefile.am :( |
| 20:32.14 | tupone_ | well :( a little confused |
| 20:33.19 | tupone_ | if the 2 compilations come from the same Makefile.am it seems ok |
| 20:34.24 | tupone_ | if they are in a separate Makefile.am and you choose to have object in the same directory of the Makefile is still ok |
| 20:35.03 | tupone_ | if you choose to have object where the source are. No! |
| 20:36.44 | tupone_ | Actually the change, i.e. building bzflag, bzfs ... in the same directory can parallelize more the build. i.e. using make -j 8 |
| 20:37.12 | tupone_ | changing directory breaks parallelism |
