Requirements

Java JDK >= 11
Gradle
Paintbot Server (local or remote, there's one running by Cygni so no worries ;) )

C. Execute: ./gradlew build

Usage

To clean and build:

> ./gradlew clean build

Implementation

There is only one class in this project, have a look at SimplePaintbotPlayer.java. The method to start in looks like this:

@Override
public void onMapUpdate(MapUpdateEvent mapUpdateEvent) {
    ansiPrinter.printMap(mapUpdateEvent);
    // Some code doing soem logic for the bot


    // Choose action here!
    registerMove(mapUpdateEvent.getGameTick(), CharacterAction.DOWN);
}

For every MapUpdateEvent received your are expected to reply with a CharacterAction (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, STAY or EXPLODE).
