How to start with a new AI

Take a look at src/ai/mod.rs. There is a RandomAI that does random stuff which you can take as an example to copy the structure. You have to add your AI also to the function from_name in the same file so it becomes user selectable.

Testing

You can add your tests as functions with #[test] before them and run all of them with

cargo test

There are some examples of tests in the code base.

Editors

At least Vim and Emacs have packages in the usual places. Sublime Text seems to have one too. Online search engine of your choice is your friend.
