CodeCraft Server

Play Framework based server that makes it possible, if unpleasant, to create and interact with CodeCraft game instances over an HTTP API.

Requirements

• JDK 8
• sbt

Usage

After installing the requirements and cloning the repository, run sbt run to start the server. You can observe the next game to be started by opening http://localhost:9000/observe in your browser. To automatically zoom out to see the entire map and keep joining games after they finish, visit http://localhost:9000/observe?autorestart=true&autozoom=true. In my experience performance is best in Chrome. If you close the browser while a game instance is still running, that game instance will be terminated after a timeout period. CodeCraft and/or this server suffer from memory leaks so the server eventually slows down and crashes. See https://github.com/cswinter/DeepCodeCraft/blob/master/codecraft.py for an example of how to use the HTTP API. Good luck.
