TCP Server

[__init__]

The algorithm of resolving three-way battle is very different from the original one.

For example, in the battle http://www.benzedrine.cx/planetwars/can ... hsBot10.01 on turn 44:

A neutral planet with 41 ships is attacked by 29+9=38 Reds and 47 Blues. The result is quite strange - the planet remains neutral with 7 ships.

Using the algorithm implemented in trunk (http://code.google.com/p/ai-contest/sou ... /engine.py), the planet should be conquered by Blues with about 20 ships (more or less, depending on the order of moves).
With an alternate algorithm described in Issue 64 (http://code.google.com/p/ai-contest/issues/detail?id=64), the result should be +6 for Blues.

I just created a Qt GUI which works with tcp server:

http://github.com/greghaynes/QTcpPlanetWars

Its hot off the press so don't come after me with pitchforks when you find bugs, but I will fix the ones you find.

It worked for me off of github just now.

I dont want to post a zip until it gets to a 'stable' version.

I updated , it now supports (optional) user passwords as well as passing argument lists (i.e. calling tcp ... java MyBot.java now works without a wrapper script).

Everything's backwards compatible, so old clients continue to run. If you want to password protect your user, update.

Do NOT use the same password as anywhere else, it's sent in plaintext and I can see them.

Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks dhartmei, your TCP server is awesome (as is all the other work you (and the others!) are doing for the tournament).
