Goblin Fight can be run with
stack run AI AI WORLD
where AI AI and WORLD are the names of the 2 AIs to use and world to load them into.
currently available worlds are:
- 2Gob
- big
currently available AIs are:
-
simple
a fairly simple native AI which attacks anyone it can, and if it's unable to attack moves toward the closest enemy.
-
cli
not really an AI, but when cli is used that AI's team can be controlled by the command line interface.
-
test.py
an ai written in python which just stands there and doesn't take reactions. It was written to verify that the system for writing ais in other languages works.
-
gloss
Not yet implemented but intended to behave like cli but via a gui.
To add a new native AI create a haskell file in ./ais/AIS/Natives/
The name of the haskell module will be the name of the ai.
The haskell module must provide two functions, the first is of type World -> Action and should share the name of your module.
This function decides what action to take on your AI's turn.
The second is of type CUID -> ReactionTrigger -> World -> Maybe Action its name should be the same as the first followed by React ie. simpleReact this function will determine how and if to use your reactions. The CUID provided will be the id of one of your creatures, and the reaction trigger will be a reaction trigger that creature has at least one reaction for.
Foreign AIs should be executables stored in the, ./ais/AIS/Executables folder.
They take input from stdin which will either be a world in which case they should respond with
an action. Or they will receive "Reaction:" followed by the cuid of the creature which may use a reaction, then the reaction trigger, and finally the state of the world. In this case they should respond with a Maybe Action, meaning either "Nothing" or "Just " followed by an action. Indicating if and how they will use their reaction.
