Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	act(WorldAPI api, Robot.Robot_Status status, byte[][] received_radio) Each turn, this method is called to allow your robot to act.
Robot.Robot_Specs	createRobot(WorldAPI api, int skill_points, byte[] message) Entry point for your robot on its creation

Method Detail

createRobot

Robot.Robot_Specs createRobot(WorldAPI api,
                            int skill_points,
                            byte[] message)

Entry point for your robot on its creation

Parameters:

api - a reference to a WorldAPI object you can use to interact with the simulator (currently unused)

skill_points - the number of skill points your robot is allowed to have.

message - a 64-byte message from the robot who created you. If you were created by the simulator, the first two bytes of the message will contain your ID, which is unique among the IDs of all your team's robots created by the world. Otherwise, the format of the message is unspecified: it's up to you to define it.

Returns:

You are to return a Robot_Specs object containing the allocation of skill points you have chosen for yourself.

act

void act(WorldAPI api,
       Robot.Robot_Status status,
       byte[][] received_radio)

Each turn, this method is called to allow your robot to act.

Parameters:

api - a reference to a WorldAPI object you can use to interact with the simulator.

status - a reference to a Robot_Status object containing information about your current health and energy level

received_radio - the radio signals you have received this round. Each message is exactly 64 bytes long. You may be able to receive additional radio signals by calling getMessages() with a nonzero power if you are being jammed.
