We have tested the game on Windows, Linux and the web. (We also offer experimental android support)
Unfortunately we aren’t able to build MacOS releases.
You can have a look at the setup guide for a list of supported platforms.
You can also try using the Bevy Quick Start guide to get the game running on your machine.

After submitting the task, we test it and upload your score to our scoreboard server.
The task log output shows the alias using which you can find your score in the scoreboard.

If you have a problem running the game or bot, you can as your fellow students, for example, on the student-run discord server.
You can also contact us via email (wettbewerb@playtte.ovh).
Attention: When asking for help in public channels, don’t share your bots source code. If other people submit your code, it is still counted as plagiarism.

If you found a mistake in our code, you can also contact us via email.
You can also open an issue in the corresponding Codeberg repository. Remember that the issues on Codeberg are publicly visible, so you shouldn’t share personal details in there.
Attention: When asking for help in public channels, don’t share your bots source code. If other people submit your code, it is still counted as plagiarism.

You can submit your bot on the Algorithms-and-Datastructures Website, the same way you would normal tasks.

If you want to submit a bot for the creativity contest, you can find a separate task on the course website.

You can hand in the bot multiple times.
We will recalculate your score and update the Scoreboard listing.

If you want to use random numbers (i.e., using random()), you should set a Seed to ensure that the same random numbers are generated on every run. This ensures that your bot always reaches the same score, even if the test runs a second time.

You can test your bot in headless mode by starting the game from the CLI.

If you are using the web version, you can enable the headless mode by setting query parameters

To prevent potentially offensive names from showing up in the scoreboard, we assign every student an ID made up of emojis.

You can find your assigned ID in the Algorithms and Data Structures task output.

If your bot follows the rules, we will show your chosen name during the price ceremony.
