Title: Arimaa Client for AEI
Post by rabbits on Feb 20th, 2010, 4:41pm
Here is a GUI for AEI: https://bitbucket.org/Rabbits/arimaa-client

Note that this project was originally hosted at https://launchpad.net/arimaa-client

The code isn't perfect, but it works.  Any feedback is welcome.

It works very good, thank you very much.

I think it would be great if the pieces got autoselected by just moving the mouse over them, as in the gameroom. And I didn't get any sound. Other than that it is a very good first version, well done.

Now I really need to port marwin to aei so that I can play him and not just the random bot that comes with aei.

Very nice!

I also didn't get sound, but it looks great.

Good idea.  I'll see what I can do.

What operating systems are you two using?  I also have sound troubles sometimes in Ubuntu.  In my case, I think it's a pulseaudio issue that I work around using the padsp command.

I am using wx.Sound for sound right now.  Does anybody know a better way to do operating system independent sound in Python?

I am using ubuntu. I have no idea about sound, so its likely my fault.

I hooked clueless up to it. Everything seemed to work fine.

I'm also using ubuntu, I tried with the padsp and it worked great, thanks.

I added auto-selection.  I like it a lot better because fewer mouse clicks are required.  Thanks for the idea tize.

No, it's not your fault.  You shouldn't need to know anything about the sound setup.  Problems like this are exactly what scare people away from Linux.  I like to assume that it is either wxWidget's fault or PulseAudio's fault.

How do I setup padsp? I'm running ubuntu but know next to nothing about installing things like that. Thanks.

First, grab the package that contains padsp from the repositories.

Code:
sudo aptitude install pulseaudio-utils

Then, in your AEI config file, start the gui with padsp.

Code:
cmdline = padsp python ../arimaa-client/gui.py

Let us know if that helps.

Yes it worked.
Thanks, I never would have figured out to put padsp in the config file.

Wow, this sounds fantastic.  This could be sufficient motivation to get me to switch to AEI next year!  Congrats rabbits, keep up the good work.

I just hacked a "proxy" feature into my GUI.  Basically, it lets you watch a game between bots with the GUI.

I also added a basic getmove adapter script.

I believe you can download the latest revision here:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~rabbits/arimaa-client/trunk/files/4

But maybe there's a better way, because this means downloading files individually?
Title: Re: Arimaa Client for AEI
Post by rabbits on May 20th, 2010, 6:30am
The client is meant to be fetched with the Bazaar http://bazaar.canonical.com revision control system.  Bazaar is multi-platform.  Once you have it installed, run the command

Code:
bzr branch lp:arimaa-client
to get a copy of the Arimaa client code.

You will have to have a copy of AEI to use the client.

The client itself should work fine on every OS too, but I am not sure if anyone has tried it in Windows yet.  Does anyone know for sure if it works in Windows?

I haven't double checked, but I think that your problem comes from using an older version of AEI.  If you pull the latest AEI code, this error should go away.
Title: Re: Arimaa Client for AEI
Post by rbarreira on Aug 1st, 2010, 7:31am
After upgrading to AEI 1.1 it works indeed. Very nice!

The proxy feature is great, to watch the games while running tests between bots.

I didn't want to start a new thread for this simple thing, but I created a ~30 lines of code add on for those using the Arimaa Client to play without an internet connection.

http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/2831/sampleht.png (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/20/sampleht.png/)

It basically starts roundrobin.py and opens a new tk window to let you select your opponent. This way you only create roundrobin.cfg once, and just use the selector to choose from the valid bots to play when you want a quick match and you don't have an internet connection.

It's a quick hack for those who like things simple and fast.

so:
just add all your bots to the global bots section in roundrobing.cfg
ie:

Code:
bots = human akimot OpFor2008 OpFor2009 OpFor2010 occam threaded_sample

(remember to add the arimaa-client as human in the bot list)

then modify roundrobin.py and find this line:

Code:
       else:
           print "Did not find a bot section for %s" % (bname)
           return 1

   start_time = time.time()


Change them to call to our selector window


Code:
       else:
           print "Did not find a bot section for %s" % (bname)
           return 1

   bots = human_match(bots)

   start_time = time.time()


and then, define human_match function (place it at the top of the file)

Code:
def human_match(bots):
   import Tkinter as tk
   import tkMessageBox as mBox
   master =tk.Tk()
   master.title('dc740')
   master.minsize(200,20)

   master.v = tk.StringVar()
   master.om = tk.OptionMenu ( master, master.v, [] )
   
   
   for bot in bots:
       if (bot['name'].lower() == 'human'):
           human = bot
       else:
           def myF(bot):
               master.selectedBot = bot
               master.v.set(bot['name'])
           master.om["menu"].add_command(label=bot['name'], command= lambda temp = bot: myF(temp) )
   
   def ok():
       if (master.v.get() != ""):
           bots = [ human , master.selectedBot ]
         master.retVal = bots
           master.quit()
           master.destroy()
       else:
           mBox.showerror("Bot selection error.", "Select a valid bot!")

   master.om["menu"].delete(0) # delete first element (basically the empty list used to create the optionMenu)

   
   label = tk.Label(master, text="Select a valid bot from the list:")
   button = tk.Button(master, text="OK", command=ok)

   label.pack()
   master.om.pack()
   button.pack()

   master.mainloop()

   return master.retVal

Seems the link vanished.

I am fighting with ON_KEY_* events ... whenever I press a key with opened client, the client freezes. I were afraid it was caused by my code modification, but seems it was an issue of the original code.

Do anybody else have this problem or it's my local one?

It is particulary annoying when you add chat feature, but pressing a key frozes the client ... . I have problems with the layout as well. When I put the original "layout" into a panel, it stops receiving events. This is why I am stuck with vertical layout so far. I will post the code hoping someone familiar with wx and python is able to proceed.

Wow, seems I have missed it ... you could run two bots and proxy to watch them play? How is it achieved?
Title: Re: Arimaa Client for AEI
Post by rabbits on Mar 6th, 2012, 2:36pm
You can play a bot through the proxy by setting it up something like this in your roundrobin.cfg:

Code:
[BotHippoProxy]
cmdline = python ../arimaa-client/gui.py --proxy BotHippo

I'm not sure why your client freezes with ON_KEY events.. Is the code you're running posted anywhere?
Title: Re: Arimaa Client for AEI
Post by Hippo on Mar 6th, 2012, 5:25pm
Wow proxy works fine :) ... I was thinking why it parses the roundrobin.cfg :).

I have put the modified ... buggy version here:
http://hrosi.dyndns.org/arimaa/gui.py

compared to
http://hrosi.dyndns.org/arimaa/gui_ori.py

I have put chatting roundrobin here as well:
http://hrosi.dyndns.org/arimaa/roundrobin.py

As chatting gameroom aei:
http://hrosi.dyndns.org/arimaa/gameroom.py

Next time I will provide it with the directory listing ;)

I just moved the repository to BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/Rabbits/arimaa-client

I originally chose LaunchPad to align with AEI.  Now that AEI is hosted on Github, well, I guess I could put this code there... but it's on BitBucket for now.

I intend to incorporate code in this thread (moretti's code and Hippo's fix) into the repository... Or someone else could do that for me...!  I'll accept pull requests or even grant write access if someone wants it.

In gui.py, try adding after the license:

Code:
import wxversion
wxversion.select('2.8')



... or maybe after the imports:

Code:
wx.Color = wx.Colour
.
They changed the class name between two versions.
