Repository for Google HashCode challenge

February 2016

Requires JDK8 and Intellij 15. With Intellij open build.gradle and import the existing project.

The following commands generate the required files in build/judge

.\gradlew sourceCode simulations

The gradle simulations task passes the project property repeat to the simulation, so you can repeat simulations with -Prepeat=500

The main class pinkyandthebrain.Main executes all the simulations named on the command line. The following system properties are checked:

• save, -Dsave=false, defaults to false, stores the drones commands in a file suitable to be sent to the judge system
• d, -Dd=build/judge, defaults to judge, set the directory where commands files are stored
• repeat, -Drepeat=1000, defaults to 1

The player strategy can be indicated in a file simulation.properties in the property player (see attached demo simulation.properties.example)
