Voidious: test bed generator utility

test bed generator utility

New page

This is a utility I made for generating [[RoboResearch]] test beds. It uses the [[Darkcanuck/RRServer/Query|RR Server Query API]], so you'll need to request a key for that if you don't have one. I've manually created quite a few test beds with a similar process to this so I finally got motivated to make a tool to help me do it.

== Download ==

Get it here: [http://www.dijitari.com/void/robocode/bedmaker.zip bedmaker.zip] (4 KB).

== Setup ==

It's a Perl script, so you'll need to have Perl installed. On any Unix/Linux system, you probably already have it. You'll need to edit a few things at the top of the file:
* Location of Perl on the first line.
* Location of your RoboRumble directory.
* Your username and key for the RR Server Query API.

This is intended to run from your main RoboResearch directory, but doesn't have to be. If it is, it will copy bot JARs from the RoboRumble directory into the robocode_bots directory, and the -o option will let you output a challenge file to the challenges directory.

Just make sure the file is executable ("chmod 755 bedmaker.pl") and you should be good to go.

== Usage ==
<pre>
Usage: ./bedmaker.pl -n # -r <rumble> [OPTIONS]
Create a randomized Robocode test bed from Rumble bots. If run from main
RoboResearch directory, will also copy the chosen bots from RoboRumble
directory into ./robocode_bots and (optionally) create .rrc challenge file.

-n Number of bots in test bed.
-r Which Rumble to use. Valid parameters: roborumble, minirumble,
microrumble, nanorumble, meleerumble, minimeleerumble,
micromeleerumble, nanomeleerumble, teamrumble, twinduel
-min Minimum APS for bots to include in test bed.
-max Maximum APS for bots to include in test bed.
-ref Reference bot pattern. If specified, the scores considered for -min
and -max will be scores against the reference bot instead of
APS in the chosen rumble. If multiple bots match the pattern, user
will be asked which to use.
-o Specify a filename to write the resulting challenge file to (will
go under ./challenges directory). If omitted, challenge file will
be printed to the console.
-f Force defaults. If specified, no keyboard entry will be required,
and defaults will be taken instead. For instance, if "-ref Tron"
were specified, multiple bots would match and the user would be
asked to choose one; if -f is specified, the first match will be
used instead.
</pre>

== Usage examples ==

In case that's not totally clear, I'll go through a couple examples. First, a test bed of 10 bots from the top 100 (roughly) of the MiniBot Rumble.
<pre>
./bedmaker.pl -n 10 -r minirumble -min 61.07

Next, a test bed of 5 bots from the main 1v1 Rumble that beat [[Diamond]].
<pre>
./bedmaker.pl -n 5 -r roborumble -ref Diamond -max 50
Fetching roborumble rankings... DONE.
More than one bot in roborumble matched pattern: Diamond

== Feature ideas ==

There are lots more ways we could optionally filter bots, but I've only thought of a couple for now:
* Blacklist - Specify a list of bots (or packages or string patterns) that will be ignored from consideration. (Or, conversely, a whitelist that will only consider certain packages.)
* Target APS: Instead of (or in addition to) specifying a min and mix APS/score, specify an average APS/score to aim for.
