paintbot's Issues

Set default obstacles to 50

The default game settings should have number of obstacles to be 50 for a more fun and engaging environment

Document API

At least provide JSON-examples of API

• Endpoints
• Websocket messages

Client API: Ownership of Tile

Add to the client utils for all clients that it should be easier to check if a tile is coloured and by whom.

Right now you have to loop over all characters, check their coloured positions and see if that matches a tile.

Create documentation / instructions for "what" to have i a client

• Define common interface
• Briefly explain what to do to create a new client

Investigate / test if canIMoveInDirection(action) works as expected

Suspected that it could be buggy in some situations

Might wanna change this before the tourny

Hi cygni / maintainers of paintbot!

I am currently just going through the source code in order to automate some parts of my training model for my bot and I stumble upon how you have implemented authorization. Cool I first thought, I can use it to get the token to authorize some websocket calls. But then out of curiosity, I tried the usercredentials on the live website aswell, and yeah.. Bad news. I got authorized.

I hope this can be changed before the tournament starts, because this will break the fairness of the game, if someone outside of the organizers gets hold on an auth-token.

paintbot/app/src/main/java/se/cygni/paintbot/security/AuthenticationService.java

Lines 14 to 18 in 58c3546

	Map<String, String> users = new HashMap<String, String>() {{
	put("emil", "lime");
	put("chen", "nehc");
	put("johannes", "sennahoj");
	}};

Just change the usercredentials for the live server.

Thanks for hosting this, and I hope I will get a seat.

I am currently the 1st on the waiting list (Accordingly to Josefina, A.)

Add jitter to collision stun

Problem: Two bots may end up indefinitely stunning each other by headbutting for the same tile over and over again

Proposed solution: Add randomness to the stun duration for collisions which would allow one bot to escape an aggressor.

• Add setting for minimum stun duration
• Add setting for maximum stun duration
• Change collision stuns to be random between min and max
