Submitting

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THIS ENTIRE FILE!!!

Please make sure to properly submit your bot(s) to avoid any trouble during the tournament. Your bot may be disqualified if you do not properly turn it in!

Your project structure

The root of your project dir MUST contain a Makefile, even if you don't use a compiled language like C++. This Makefile is responsible for creating a file in the same directory named chessbot. This file MUST have READ and EXECUTE permissions. This file MUST execute your chess-bot.

An example:

$ ls -lra
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  40 Mar  6 10:44 src
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 240 Mar  6 10:44 Makefile
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root 180 Mar  6 10:45 .git
drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 240 Mar  6 10:44 ..
drwx------  4 root root 100 Mar  6 10:45 .
$ make
$ ls -lra
$ ls -lra
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  40 Mar  6 10:44 src
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 240 Mar  6 10:44 Makefile
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root 180 Mar  6 10:45 .git
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 560 Mar  6 10:46 chessbot
drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 240 Mar  6 10:44 ..
drwx------  4 root root 120 Mar  6 10:46 .

NOTE: You don't need to have a src directory per se, this is just an example

Feel free to just make a wrapper script if you use an interpreted language like python. For example:

#!/bin/bash
python3 your_bot.py

Turning in

Create a chessbot.tar.gz file with the contents of your root project directory. Make sure all the files (including .git) are present in the archive

An example:

$ ls -lra
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 100 Mar  6 10:56 your_chessbot_dir
drwxrwxrwt 13 root root 260 Mar  6 10:55 ..
drwx------  3 root root  60 Mar  6 10:56 .
$ ls -lra your_chessbot_dir/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  40 Mar  6 10:44 src
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 240 Mar  6 10:55 Makefile
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 180 Mar  6 10:45 .git
drwx------ 3 root root  60 Mar  6 10:56 ..
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 100 Mar  6 10:56 .
$ tar -zcf chessbot.tar.gz -C your_chessbot_dir/ .
$ ls
chessbot.tar.gz  your_chessbot_dir

You then turn in the chessbot.tar.gz

Your engine

Your engine MUST report your teamname as the engine names, and ALL your teammates their intra names as authors when responding to the uci command.

An example:

$ ./chessbot
uci
id name A cool team name
id author intraid1 intraid2 intraid3
uciok

Tips

  • DO NOT USE -Werror. You run the risk of your code not compiling when using a newer compiler version
  • Check the names of your files, is the bot named chessbot? Is the archive file named chessbot.tar.gz?
  • Use the tournament/runner/tools/quick-check.sh script to check if your archive is probably correct
  • Make sure that the chessbot program is executable
