To create an AI player:

from client import TronClient  # @include(client.py)

def lefter(players_count, my_number, players, grid):
    return 'LEFT'

tc = TronClient(lefter)
tc.run()

Note the # @include(client.py) comment in the first line. This is needed for building a single-file client for using with online Tron Battle.

To test a player add it to players.conf and run:

$ python tron_runner.py

Tron runner can run one or several battles and it writes the game into a logfile in the current directory. Run it with -h to get information about the command line options.

To make a single script that is usable for the online Tron Battle:

$ python build_ai.py ai_lefter.py ~/output/ai_lefter.py
