Document bellow provides the basic structure of the methods that you can use for the challenge. The class that you are going to implement is the Bot class.
- Switching symmetrically, e.g. 1 1 -> 1 1, or 2 3 -> 3 2 is not allowed.
- Hitting opponent with a hand with 0 fingers, e.g. 0 3 -> you cannot hit with LEFT hand
- Hitting opponent's hand that has 0 fingers, e.g. ME: 2 3 OPP: 0 2, I cannot hit OPP's LEFT hand
- Illegal turn results immediate loss of the game.
- An individual game can also be a tie in case 1000 rounds being reached (infinite repetition)
- There will be 1000 games in every match between a pair of bots.
- In a match, the bot with more wins wins the game
- Match can also end up as a tie, if both have the same amount of wins
- For winning a match team gets 3 points, tie 1 point, loss 0 points.
- After all the matches the team with the most points wins the challenge.
Your job is to implement the sendTurn() function in the area:
// *******
// INSERT CODE HERE
// *******The sendTurn() function is called by Match class, when it is waiting for you take make your turn. In the initial lines
int myLeft = this.getMyLeft();
int myRight = this.getMyRight();
int oppLeft = this.getOppLeft();
int oppRight = this.getMyRight();the variables represent the current number of fingers at each hand, so that you can decide what move to take based on that data. Once you have decided, rewrite lines
Hand chooseMyHand = Hand.RIGHT;
Hand chooseOppHand = Hand.LEFT;in each case either using Hand.RIGHT or Hand.LEFT, which are constants used to standardize the notion of hands. chooseMyHand designates the hand with which you want to hit opponent's hand, i.e. chooseOppHand.
If you wish to hit opponent's hand, use return new Turn(chooseMyHand, chooseOppHand), but if you wish to switch your hands use return new Turn(Hand.SWITCH, 1, 1) which represents Turn(Hand switchHands, int newLeft, int newRight)
That is all you need to know and implement. You can use any tools and additional code as you like.
Once you have implemented your Bot class, you can test it against our Porgor AI, bot Lukas, named after its father.
Game game = new Game(lukas, black); instantiates a new game and game.play() calls the game to start and eventually finish. You can view the progress of the game in the console log.
