UABC

uabc: Ultimate Algorithm Battle - Client

This is a websocket client that allows participation in Socialgorithm Tournaments. Learn more about those in our documentation

This client will executes your player file, and pipe the stdin/stout generated by that process to the tournament server over a socket.

This means that your player can be written in any language, and it will work as long as your computer can run it.

Getting started

Note: If you are participating in a competition, it is best to start in the Participant section of the documentation.

Install the executable:

$ npm install -g @socialgorithm/uabc

Verify the installation by running:

$ uabc --version

Options

Run uabc -h to see the full list of options:

Running the sample player

You will need to clone the specific sample player that you want to run, for example, for tic-tac-toe:

$ git clone git@github.com:socialgorithm/tic-tac-toe-player
$ cd tic-tac-toe-player

Then run the sample using the globally installed UABC, for example:

$ uabc --host "https://sg-tournament.herokuapp.com" 
  --lobby "{YOUR_LOBBY_NAME}" 
  --token "Player1" 
  -f "node run_player.js random"
