Game 1

Changes

  - refer to game1.bp for updated game object stats

Setup

  - single player
  - perfect information
  - random 32x32 terrain (ground level tiles connected, small
    irregular static obstacles)
  - one control center, 20 workers nearby
  - several resource patches 
  - limit # of workers on single resource patch to 4
  - some small mobile obstacles ("sheep") moving randomly

Objective

  - gather as much resources as possible within 10 minutes

Challenges

  - cooperative pathfinding
  - static/mobile obstacle avoidance


Object actions:

worker: (terrans/units.bp)

  move(x,y[,s])     : start moving towards (x,y) with speed s (or max-speed)
  stop()            : stop moving and mining
  pickaxe.mine(obj) : start mining minerals, need to be close to mineral patch;
                      mining 1 mineral takes 4 game cycles; a worker can hold
                      at most 10 minerals at any given time; at most 4 workers
                      can work on one mineral patch simultaneously
                                                 (defined in terrans/tools.bp)

  return_resources(obj) : drop all minerals instantly, need to be close to 
                          control center         (defined in terrans/tools.bp)

How to start the server and gfx client?

  in orts3/.

  ./tournament-2007/game1_orts 

  and

  ./tournament-2007/game1_ortsg (in a different terminal window)

  Alternatively

  ./tournament-2007/game1_orts_test

  starts the server and displays the world using simple 2d graphics
  which is good for testing purposes. Units will move randomly.


Tournament setting:

Each program will play k games depending on the number of available
computers. k starting positions are generated randomly (starting with
a fixed seed that depends on numbers provided by contestants). The
player with the highest total mineral count wins this category.
