Player’s Guide

This part of the documentation covers topics interesting to readers wanting to implement player code. It describes the SpectrumWars player API and how to run and debug player code using a simulated testbed that does not require any special hardware connected to the computer.

• Installing the simulator
• Running player code
• Understanding the visualizations
  • Player’s visualization
  • Game visualization
• Scoring
• Implementing a transceiver
  • Class reference
• An annotated example
• Testbed reference
  • VESNA
  • Simulated testbed

For the impatient, the fast track to get started is:

• Check An annotated example and examples on GitHub and
• experiment with the simulator as described in Installing the simulator and Running player code.
