DEFCON AI BOT API

[The Reds]

How do people get bots? What do they have to do? Cause if others can get one I was hoping if I could get one too.

Heh, anything is possible.

Be sure to tell me if you work out how to pit two bots together, using two clients. ( Me and a friend. )

The easiest way would be to join a game through entering the IP of the host. Both players should have the API enabled version.

@The Reds: The first post should give you enough information on how to set up your own bot. Note that you cannot use a bot in "normal" defcon matches that don't specifically allow bots (Ie., use the API version to host the game).

Is there a java version of the API? I vaguely remember some talk of one but I cannot remember if anything came of it.

EDIT:: I found the java API here

However, there was a mention of a python API in the original article about the API, did such a thing ever get built?

Is there a Brainfuck version of the API?

Unfortunately no, but I could easily write you a brainfuck interpreter in Lua, if you wish?

How about prolog?!

I am eagerly awaiting a Linux-compatible API while staring at the archaicness of the mailing list.
