<h1 id="title">Running Tanks</h1>
<p>Unfortunately, its kind of a mess right now.
I know there are a few forks of this code,
and I would love it if someone proposed a merge to clearly illustrate how to run tanks.</p>
<p>When I spin up a new tanks game,
typically I run something like:</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>while sleep 60; do ./round.sh */; done
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>This assumes all your tanks directories are in the same place as <code class="highlighter-rouge">round.sh</code>.</p>
<h2 id="included-programs">Included programs</h2>
<p>I tried to stick with the Unix philosophy of one program per task. I
also tried to avoid doing any string processing in C. The result is a
hodgepodge of C, Bourne shell, and awk, but at least each piece is
fairly simple to audit.</p>
<h3 id="roundsh-tank1-tank2-">round.sh tank1 tank2 …</h3>
<p>Runs a single round, awards points with rank.awk, and creates a new
summary.html with summary.awk. This is the main interface that you want
to run from cron or whatever.</p>
<h3 id="forftanks-tank1-tank2-">forftanks tank1 tank2 …</h3>
<p>A program to run a round of tanks and output a JSON description of the
game. This is what tanks.js uses to render a game graphically.
The object printed contains:</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>[[game-width, game-height],
[[tank1-color,
[[sensor1range, sensor1angle, sensor1width, sensor1turret],
...]],
...],
[[
[tank1x, tank1y, tank1angle, tank1sensangle,
tank1flags, tank1sensors],
...],
...]]
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>If file descriptor 3 is open for writes, it also outputs the results of
the round to fd3.</p>
<h3 id="rankawk">rank.awk</h3>
<p>Processes the fd3 output of forftanks to award points and output an
HTML results table.</p>
<h3 id="summaryawk-tank1-tank2">summary.awk tank1 tank2</h3>
<p>Creates summary.html, linking to all rounds and showing overall
standing.</p>
<h3 id="designercgi">designer.cgi</h3>
<p>Accepts form input and writes a tank.</p>
