Java starter kit
Prerequisites
First of all, go to http://monkeymusicchallenge.com, sign up and get your API key.
For this starter kit, you will need basic knowledge of:
Make sure to have Maven Maven installed on your system.
Also, if you run into trouble, make sure to use Java 1.7 or newer.
Getting started
Start by forking this repository to your own GitHub user.
Then, open up a terminal and:
git clone git@github.com:<username>/java-starter-kit.git
cd java-starter-kit
mvn package
java -jar target/warmup.jar <your-team-name> <your-api-key>
Use Eclipse or IDEA? Run mvn eclipse:eclipse or mvn idea:idea and then import into your favorite IDE.
These are all UNIX commands. Got Windows? We recommend Cygwin.
Issues with maven or java? Try downloading the latest Java version (1.8).
Make sure to surf to your team page before running the above commands...
Your monkey is waiting for you!
How to complete the warmup challenge
Main.java contains the boilerplate needed to communicate with the server. You should not need to change anything in here unless we have done something wrong.
We suggest you go straight to AI.java and start playing around with the code.
Remember, your mission is to:
- guide your monkey through the warmup level
- pick up all the music items
- get them to the eagerly awaiting Spotify user
Have fun!
