How to install the recompiled robocode project

[Wyatt]

Hi all

I have successfully build the master version following this guide http://robowiki.net/wiki/Robocode/Developers_Guide_for_building_Robocode

However, how can I launch this version. As I know, there is a setup package, such as robot-setup-x.y.z.jar, but how can I build this jar package? Since there are no packages in this folder

Any guides here?

Many thanks.

Hi, when building Robocode (the game itself), Maven will output the distribution files to:

/robocode.distribution/target

The setup file is robocode-1.x.x.x-setup.jar, which can be run like "java -jar robocode-1.x.x.x-setup.jar".

All source files are put into robocode-1.x.x.x-src.zip

Best regards,

Hi Flemming - 

I've got the latest Robocode repo from GitHub, and I'm building it with IntelliJ Idea. Everything builds and runs fine; however, I can't track down where the installer ends up. Any tips?

I've made a lot of changes in the last few days, most significantly we are migrating to Gradle. 

The setup jar should be in /build/ folder after `gradle build`.

If something doesn't work, please let me know.

Hi Pavel - 

Thanks for the tip. I just needed to switch the run configuration to "robocode [build]" and then execute. The installer shows up as expected.

I'm glad to see this project is still alive. I became aware of it a long time ago but never got involved. Now I'm working on a personal project in reinforcement learning (rlai) and decided to integrate with Robocode as a training environment. I've got Robocode talking with my RL library over TCP, and it learns some basics (e.g., aiming).

Keep up the good work.

Matt
