Title: Bot Script Question
Post by jdb on May 9^th, 2006, 2:56pm

Is there a way to get the bot script to start up an opponent automatically?

I was planning on modifying clueless to take part in the May botbash. It would be alot easier if the opponents could be started automatically.

Thanks

Someone posted this a while ago:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
for i in $(seq 1 $3);do
wget http://arimaa.com/arimaa/bots/$1/controlBot.cgi --post-data="side=$2&start=Start%20Bot" ;
sleep 3;
rm -f controlBot.cgi
./bot play $1

You call it with something like:
runOffline.sh bot_Clueless2005Fast w 1
