HaxBall Group-2

Empty starting project for ARL 2023.

A rough overview:

• Demo-Agent contains a more sophisticated example and shows how you should structure your code
• Jiaxin_Yang is the directoriy for Jiaxin_Yang
• Common holds the shared code
• haxballenv is the submodule with the actual environment
• images is a working directory to generate gifs

Some instructions

After cloning, you have to add the submodule to get the HaxBall code:

git submodule update --init

Compilation should work in the corresponding directory (e.g. Jiaxin_Yang) with the normal procedure:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j 8

Hopefully, it is now possible to start the agent in the build directory:

./HaxBallAgentGroup-2

Use an IDE such as QtCreator to open the full project. Your IDE should be able to open the CMakeLists.txt directly:

qtcreator CMakeLists.txt

Qt and QtCreator, CMake

On Mac and Linux, you can most likely use your paket manager for all three.

For Windows, download from the Qt Website the offline installer with the version Qt 5.12.x (matching the Eikon). Disable during the installation your internet to avoid creating a Qt Account. During the setup, select also MinGW 64 bit to get a running C++ Compiler on your computer. Select the QtCreator checkbox to install the IDE.

CMake is available at Kitware's Website, just install it.

Now, you can start Qtcreator and open directly a CMakeLists.txt as C++ project.
