UABC

uabc: Ultimate Algorithm Battle - Client

This is the client to participate in Ultimate Algorithm Battles

The client executes your player, and pipes its stdin/stout to the game 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

Install the executable:

$ npm install -g uabc

Verify the installation by running:

$ uabc --version

Playing

You'll need to get a valid token from the game server first. Let's assume that our token is 123 for now.

Simply run:

$ uabc -t 123 -f "node player.js"

Where player.js is your player. Another example, if it was a Java program:

$ uabc -t 123 -f "java Player"

You don't need the server running to start the client, it will automatically detect the server and connect to it when it comes up.
