Build instructions

Windows (Visual Studio)

:: Get the project.
$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:alkurbatov/suvorov-bot.git
$ cd suvorov-bot

:: Generate Visual Studio project files.
$ cmake -B build -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"

:: Start Visual Studio and build the project.
$ start build/Suvorov.sln

:: Launch the bot with the specified path to a SC2 map, e.g.
$ build\bin\Debug\Suvorov.exe Ladder2019Season3/AcropolisLE.SC2Map

Linux (cmdline)

# Get the project.
$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:alkurbatov/suvorov-bot.git && cd suvorov-bot

# Generate a Makefile.
# Use 'cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../' if debuginfo is needed.
$ cmake -B build

# Build the project.
$ cmake --build build --parallel

# Launch the bot with the specified absolute path to a SC2 map, e.g.
$ ./build/bin/Suvorov "/Users/alkurbatov/work/tmp/Ladder2019Season3/AcropolisLE.SC2Map"

OS X (Xcode)

# Get the project.
$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:alkurbatov/suvorov-bot.git && cd suvorov-bot

# Generate a Makefile.
# Use 'cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../' if debuginfo is needed.
$ cmake -B build -G Xcode

# Start Xcode and build the project.
$ open build/Suvorov.xcodeproj

# Launch the bot with the specified path to a SC2 map, e.g.
$ ./build/bin/Suvorov "Ladder2019Season3/AcropolisLE.SC2Map"

Additional options

Game client version

By default, the API assumes the latest version of the game client. The assumed version can be found in cmake's output, e.g.:

$ cmake ../ | grep 'SC2 version'
Target SC2 version: 5.0.5
...

However, sometimes one may need to compile with an older version of the game, e.g. to play with a Linux build which is always behind the Windows version. It is possible by specifying the game version manually, e.g.:

$ cmake -DSC2_VERSION=4.10.0 ../

AIArena ladder build

To compile a bot capable to play on the AIArena ladder, configure the project in the following way:

$ cmake -DBUILD_FOR_LADDER=ON -DSC2_VERSION=4.10.0 ../

Coding Standard

We follow slightly modified Google C++ Style Guide. See the linter job in GitHub Actions CI.
