Paintbot client in Java

This is a Paintbot Client written in Java 11.

For more information about what Paintbot is, see: https://paintbot.cygni.se/

For running your own server see Paintbot Server Repository

Requirements

• Java JDK >= 11
• Gradle
• Paintbot Server (local or remote, there's one running by Cygni so no worries ;) )

Installation

A. Clone the repository: git clone git@github.com:cygni/paintbot-client-java.git.

B. Open: <repo>/

C. Execute: ./gradlew build

Usage

To clean and build:

> ./gradlew clean build

To run your client:

> ./gradlew run

Implementation

There is only one class in this project, have a look at SimplePaintbotPlayer.java. The method to start in looks like this:

@Override
public void onMapUpdate(MapUpdateEvent mapUpdateEvent) {
    ansiPrinter.printMap(mapUpdateEvent);
    // Some code doing soem logic for the bot


    // Choose action here!
    registerMove(mapUpdateEvent.getGameTick(), CharacterAction.DOWN);
}

For every MapUpdateEvent received your are expected to reply with a CharacterAction (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, STAY or EXPLODE).

Help

There's a utility class with nifty methods to help you out. Take a look at MapUtil and what it offers
