Random tron server

[dhartmei]

If you, like me, would like to get more games for your bot, and are willing to use your own CPU time instead of uwaterloo's,
take a look at , which runs your bot locally and communicates with a remote
map server for map and moves. You get a random opponent on a random map.

The server code is , which might even be useful if you run it only locally
for yourself. Both are BSD licensed.

Have fun, and join us for random games on the server mentioned in the source.

The client-server protocol has been slightly expanded, please update your client:

The client can now supply a user name, and you see who you're playing against.

And now there are proper ELO ratings, too: .

Very cool! I'll put my bot when I get a moment.

I've started testing it, and I must say, I'm impressed! Very easy to set up, very simple yet efficient.

Highly recommended to anyone who's sick of the "internal server errors" of the official challenge

It doesn't work on Windows : ( Am I the only one using Windows? : )

How exactly do you run it? Which port do you connect to on your server?
