Unlike traditional strategy games, you do not control your units directly, but
instead write programs that control them using whatever programming language you
choose. They can start actions, like move or scan, to change and explore the
game state. The player only has direct control over one special unit – his
headquarter.
You’ll want to use the Nix package manager, which will install everything
you need as soon as you open up a nix-shell environment.
Run each line in it’s own shell, and wait until the previos ones have settled:
nix-shell --run 'cabal run botstrats-server'
cd resources && nix-shell --run 'make'
nix-shell --run 'cabal run botstrats-visualizer'
nix-shell --run 'cabal run botstrats-sniffer'
nix-shell --run 'cabal run botstrats-supervisor'
nix-shell -p rlwrap --run 'rlwrap nc localhost 2005'In the last shell, you can then run commands from the POV of your headquarter.
Try query, scan, spawn engineer.
You can use the mouse to control the visualizer:
- Zoom by utilizing the scroll wheel
- Move the view port by left-clicking and dragging
- Rotate the view port by right-clicking and dragging
You will want to zoom out until you see the headquarters building, and then
navigate to it. It is spawned at a random location. You cannot see the building
until you have started the scan action in the prompt.
