Pousse Player Programs

[Jeff Sepeta]

Greetings! My father is a retired professor. He taught several courses including Scheme, C, C+, Bioinformatics, and AI. Recently he's shown me what I believe to be a bug within the Pousse program which we would like to bring to your attention.

Pousse on the Mac in PLT Games.app has the option to select a program for Player X or Player 0. When selecting "Smart", the timer starts but the AI never actually makes a move. Is there a way to fix this? This behavior is the same whether Smart is selected for Player X or Player 0. On a dual Xeon Mac running OS X 10.14.6 & DrRacket 8.2 / Pousse 1.1.3 we ran the app for several minutes with no response from the Smart player program. We achieved identical results running DrRacket 7.x/PLT Games.app on a MacBook Pro.

Are there additional Player Programs available? Where would one attain such a thing? Is there example code we could use to better understand how player programs work, in order to create our own player program?

I see that in 8.2 but I'm not seeing it in a more recent build. Maybe try a snapshot? https://snapshot.racket-lang.org/

There is information about how to make players here: https://github.com/racket/games/blob/master/pousse/robots.txt I didn't try it out, but if you do and run into problems, let us know.

hth,

Robby
