The following is a list of all user-facing parts of cl-ggp
.
If there are backwards-incompatible changes to anything listed here, they will be noted in the changelog and the author will feel bad.
Anything not listed here is subject to change at any time with no warning, so don't touch it.
GGP
The main GGP package.
GGP-PLAYER
(class)The base class for a GGP player. Custom players should extend this.
KILL-PLAYER
(function)(KILL-PLAYER PLAYER)
Kill the HTTP server for the given player.
This will not be done gently. No cleanup will be performed if the player is in the middle of a game. Be careful.
PLAYER-SELECT-MOVE
(generic function)(PLAYER-SELECT-MOVE PLAYER TIMEOUT)
Called when it's time for the player to select a move to play.
Must return a list/symbol of the GDL move to play. Note that any symbols in
the move should be ones that are interned in the GGP-RULES
package. The
author is aware that this sucks and welcomes suggestions on how to make it
less awful.
timeout
is the timestamp that the response to the server is due by, in
internal-real time units. Basically: when (get-internal-real-time)
returns
this number, your message better have reached the server.
PLAYER-START-GAME
(generic function)(PLAYER-START-GAME PLAYER RULES ROLE TIMEOUT)
Called when the game is started.
rules
is a list of lists/symbols representing the GDL description of the
game. Note that all symbols are interned in the GGP-RULES
package.
role
is a symbol representing the role of the player in this game.
timeout
is the timestamp that the response to the server is due by, in
internal-real time units. Basically: when (get-internal-real-time)
returns
this number, your message better have reached the server.
PLAYER-STOP-GAME
(generic function)(PLAYER-STOP-GAME PLAYER)
Called when the game is stopped.
This is a good place to do any teardown stuff your player might need, or maybe to suggest a GC to your Lisp implementation.
PLAYER-UPDATE-GAME
(generic function)(PLAYER-UPDATE-GAME PLAYER MOVES)
Called after all players have made their moves.
moves
will be a list of (role . move)
conses representing moves made by
each player last turn.
PLAYER-UPDATE-GAME-II
(generic function)(PLAYER-UPDATE-GAME-II PLAYER MOVE PERCEPTS)
Called after all players have made their moves in a GDL-II game.
move
will be the move you played last turn.
percepts
are all the percepts you see for the round.
READ-GDL-FROM-FILE
(function)(READ-GDL-FROM-FILE FILENAME)
Read GDL from filename
START-PLAYER
(function)(START-PLAYER PLAYER &KEY (SERVER :HUNCHENTOOT) (USE-THREAD T))
Start the HTTP server for the given player.
The :server
and :use-thread
options will be passed along to Clack.
GGP-RULES
Symbol storage package.
The GGP-RULES
package is used to hold all the symbols in the GDL game
descriptions, as well as some special symbols in the GGP protocol. It is
cleared between game runs to avoid a buildup of garbage symbols (especially
when GDL scrambling is turned on), though certain special symbols are allowed
to survive the clearing.
This is ugly. I'm sorry. I'm open to suggestions on better ways to do this.
