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.

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

So, first off, here is a download link:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/685443597591511043/713180937399304202/Defcon.exe
This is the 1.57 version, the latest I could find.
Earlier versions contain a bug that make it impossible to handle fighters, bombers, and nukes.
This version spits out a massive log file, reducing performance somewhat. To disable this, make sure there is a read-only file called debug.txt in your defcon directory.
Note that this was compiled ages ago, using VS2008. You need to compile your bot against the same ABI for it to work.
Second, here is the Lua binding:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/685443597591511043/701819619517661304/luabot_0.31.zip
The 0.3 version, hosted on corsix.org by its author, has a bug where functions that should return two values (GetVelocity, for example), returned only the second value.
This version contains a fix for that bug. Otherwise, it is exactly the same, right down to its Lua version (5.1.4).
I can be reached via the Defcon Discord for further information.
