[New Language] Scala

[tulsidas]

Hi, just to let everyone know I'm working on a starter package for Scala, I'll probably have it by today, if anyone is already working on one let me know!

[tulsidas]

I just posted the initial commit in http://github.com/tulsidas/ai-planetwars-scala

I haven't tested anything yet, just ported the Java code

[tulsidas]

Fixed bugs in main method, it works fine now, thou the first turn need more than 1 second (same problem as Clojure)

If make jar and run it with 'java -jar' insted running it with 'scala' command - 3 sec for first turn is enough.

I use sbt to build my bot and also run it against other bots. If somebody is interested i can upload the configuration.

Whenever I try to run scala bots with:
java -jar tools/PlayGame.jar maps/map7.txt 1000 1000 log.txt "scala RandomBot" "scala MyBot"

I get:
ERROR: failed to start client: scala RandomBot



When I change e.g. RandomBot to java it wokrs fine, but scala MyBot fails it seams that scala isn't recognized, but I can run the bots from command line using scala MyBot and pass info to them.


Also, I tried incresing 1000 times (I assume that is the time for turn, and for the first turn) but it didn't change a thing.

Yes I compiled every *.scala file.

I tried also with my own implementation of PlanetWars.scala but with same error.

It seams that my scala installation is wrong or something, although I think I have everything right (scala's bin directory in PATH) and my scala programs run just fine if not run using PlayGame.jar

I have to remember not to run anything in Windows. Here you have to use "scala.bat" in the commandline of exec() even if windows cmd accepts "scala" without the extension.

Everything runs fine now
