Spring RTS Engine

Writing an AI mostly is more about implementing good concepts and not speed or compactness. I know no other language in which you can write code so fast and effective.

The compare between Python and LUA lacks anyways and this is maybe the wrong thread to discuss this.

Update:

There now is type checking in the interface, so the engine won't crash if wrong types are used.

Update:

To call functions of the interface, you do not need to instantiate the interface classes anymore.

Past:
self.map=Map(self.team)
self.map.get...()

Now:
Map.get...()

If an event occurs, only the AI which receives the event is able to call the interface.

That are great news. I will implement type checking as soon as possible. I just have little time at the moment. But it will definitely be implemented. If done so, an exception would be thrown. The engine however wouldn't be crashing anymore. There is no documentation of the interface, because... wel...

There are two ways the interface interacts with Spring: Events: The engine generates events which are translated into a Python data structure. This is an conversion from a C struct into a Python dict. Callback: The first event (init) holds in it's C struct a pointer to a callback object, which also ...

Yeah, when I am online and have time, I hang out the most time in #ai right now. Just write me a message.

@WeberGunso thanks for testing. The type checking and error handling is not implemented at the moment, because it was not the main focus of development in the first place. It definitley will come in the next time. If you are interrested in how the python bindings are generated and work, I can give y...
