BalanceAlgorithm
A set of files from Teiserver for testing balance algorithm changes without needing to have a whole server testing setup.
The purpose is to enable ideas for balance algorithms to be better tested and investigated by those interested in doing so. It provides a better place for implementation ideas to be discussed and tracked compared to discord and will make for an easier way to extend testing of ideas in a uniform way.
Installation
You will need to install Elixir.
git clone git@github.com:beyond-all-reason/balance_algorithm.git
cd balance_algorithm
mix deps.get

Usage
Tests
We can use unit tests to ensure implementations of each algorithm produce the output expected, it also allows us to change internal details and ensure the algorithms as a whole are unaffected. We can run the tests with mix test. Tests are located in the [test] folder.
