Tron

This project provides a platform for teams to compete over the local network.

The game is based on a movie called Tron, in this game each team controls a snake and tries to avoid colliding with obstacles (the walls, its own body, or the rival's body). Each team that makes a longer stand in the field wins the round.

Broadcast

The platform broadcasts (on the ip and port provided in the BroadCast section) a json string over UDP with the information of the game at each step. The json string send by the platform is as follows:

{
    "game_dim":43
    "game_state":"Running",
    "blue":"BLUE",
    "blue_heads":[[21,25],[21,24],[21,23]],
    "blue_score":0,
    "red":"RED",
    "red_heads":[[21,17],[21,18],[21,19]],
    "red_score":0
}

• game_state can be 'Running' or 'Pause' based on the state of the game.
• blue is the blue team name (can be configured from the config section)
• blue_heads contains the last 3 positions of blue tron's head (at the begining of the round it only contains the 1 or 2 position)
• blue_score score of blue team
• red is the red team name (can be configured from the config section)
• red_heads contains the last 3 positions of red tron's head (at the begining of the round it only contains the 1 or 2 position)
• red_score score of red team

Control of Trons

• You can send your desired commands over UDP for the platform. the ip address to receive commands is in the ip section of the config and each team's port can be configured in the team's configuration section.

  you should send the desired direction for your tron:

  • 'Up'
  • 'Right'
  • 'Down'
  • 'Left'

• By enabling the checkboxes in the config section, you can also control the blue tron using arrow keys on your keyboard and similarly you can control the red tron using w, a, s, d keys. (use this option for your debugs and tests)
