Exercises

1. Run the game and finish

1.1 Run the game without errors!

• Yeah you met the requirements!
• Doesn’t work? Is your Python >= 3.7 and did you install the requirements?

1.2 Start racing!

• Can you finish without crashing?

1.3. Try a different track!

• Which tracks are available?
• Change the code to run a different track

1.4 Add a NaiveAi player. Can you beat him?

2. Advanced options

2.1 Add a key binding which creates a new HumanPlayer

2.2 Add a key binding to remove all players except the best player

2.3 Create your own track! Can you finish it?

2.4 Run the game in headless mode with only an NaiveAi player

3. Start subclassing!

3.1 Create a new HumanPlayer called HoomanPlayer which has left and right reversed

3.2 Add sensors to the human player and visualize them! Try to finish the race with a black background and sensors visible!

3.3 Make your HoomanPlayer break as you are about to hit a wall. Play with different sensors depths!

3.4 Make your HoomanPlayer accelerate automatically

3.5 Give the steering controls to your HoomanPlayer as well!

3.6 You are now more than ready to start on the challenge!

Challenge

Who can make the best Ai? The team that scores the lowest score wins. Made it to the finish? Fastest team wins!

• Finale will be played on an unknown track!!
• The game will be played on the big screen.
• All teams stop programming the same time
• Time is measured in number of turns
• Ties are broken based on time
• If no teams finishes there can still be a tie. But shame on you!

Write your WinningAi so that it can be used as follow and hand in all required files before the deadline.

from src.game import Engine, Environment
from yourmodule import WinningAi


def main():
    track = Environment('super_secret_final_map')

    game_engine = Engine(
        environment=track,
        players=[WinningAi()]
    )

    game_engine.play()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
