This is the Battlecode 2025 Python scaffold, containing an examplefuncsplayer. Read https://play.battlecode.org/bc25python/quick_start !

• README.md This file.
• run.py The python script used to run players and upgrade versions.
• src/ Player source code.
• test/ Player test code.
• client/ Contains the client. The proper executable can be found in this folder (don't move this!)
• matches/ The output folder for match files.
• maps/ The default folder for custom maps.

You are free to directly edit examplefuncsplayer. However, we recommend you make a new bot by copying examplefuncsplayer to a new package (folder) under the src folder.

• python run.py run Runs a game with default settings. Use --p1, --p2 to use different players, and --maps to use different maps.
• python run.py update Update configurations for the latest version -- run this often
• python run.py zip_submission Create a submittable zip file
• python run.py verify Verify that your player --p1 submission is valid and will be accepted
• python run.py tasks See what else you can do!

Look at properties.json for project-wide configuration.

If you are having any problems with the default client, please report to teh devs and feel free to set the compatibility_client configuration to true to download a different version of the client. You will also need to delete the client_version.txt file and run the update task to force a reinstall.
