General info

The Entelect Challenge is an annual coding competition where students, professional developers, and enthusiasts develop an intelligent bot to play a game. In this repository, Greedy algorithm is used to design the bot. There are 3 main strategies that are implemented in this bot:

1. Movement based on enemies' health and distance priority
2. Weapon selection based on utilities
3. Health pack strategy

Setup

Configuring the game and runner

Modifying the bot

1. Make your modifications to the starter bot using IntelliJ.
2. Once you are happy with your changes, package your bot by opening up the "Maven Projects" tab on the right side of the screen.
3. From here go to the "java-sample-bot" > "Lifecycle" group and double-click "Install" This will create a .jar file in the folder called "target".
4. The file will be called "java-sample-bot-jar-with-dependencies.jar".

Running

Simply run (double-click) the "run.bat" file, or open up Command Prompt in the starter pack's root directory and run the "run.bat" command.
