i recently tried to implement a monte carlo ai for four in a row, so i thought i'll give this a try. downloaded the java starter bot and reuploaded it again without much modification. failed. first, there's a null pointer exception as soon as you try to use the "field" object in the unmodified starter bot. if fixed this. but now i get: Error dump Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: No monotonic clock was available - timed services may be adversely affected if the time-of-day clock changes Error: Could not find or load main class BotStarter Input dump Output dump Running testcase /opt/aigames/etc/tests_fourinarow/test_fourinarow.txt... Testing Bot with setup input... ... finished testcase in 0.170000001788 seconds Test failed: no output that's it. nothing else. so a) without having a method of painless local testing before uploading, it gets very tedious and b) the error message "Error: Could not find or load main class BotStarter" doesn't help me much in this case because i do have a class BotStarter with the method main - it's pretty much the starter bot right now. edit: looks like for local testing i can download the engine source and run it locally. edit 2: javac -d classes @sources.txt ... java -cp bin com.theaigames.fourinarow.FourInARow ... looks like this wasn't tested on windows. edit 3: got it to run locally. output is: stopping... Done. even in dev mode. i have no idea if it worked, what i did, which bot won, etc. i'm giving up.
