This thread is for reporting any problems with the GDArena. Any reports given that do not give a sufficient amount of detail will be ignored (i.e. I need more information than, "it doesn''t work").

can''t use my bot with the new version, it closes down when I hit run/F5. I think I need a new core header file for those wall functions.

thank you

I''ll double check this..

The core header file is there. Look in the BotGen folder.

When you unzip the file, it should have a "BotGen" folder at the same level as the "bin" folder.

What is the crash that occurs? What is the error message? I have no idea where to start if I don''t know what it says. Sometimes it can be very useful..

If you would like I could email you the DLL compiled with MinGW. It might make that a little more meaningful.

Chess is played by three people. Two people play the game; the third provides moral support for the pawns. The object of the game is to kill your opponent by flinging captured pieces at his head. Since the only piece that can be killed is a pawn, the two armies agree to meet in a pawn-infested area (or even a pawn shop) and kill as many pawns as possible in the crossfire. If the game goes on for an hour, one player may legally attempt to gouge out the other player's eyes with his King.

Try getting http://www.gamedev.net/community/contest/gdarena/gdarena.zip.

You got the wrong one.

That error is in line with this.

I don''t know if emailing me the DLL would be that helpful. You can if you want, though.

I''ll upload it once I get it back to its original dumb state. Right now its intelligence is even lower than it was in the original demo.

thanks to T2K for making his bot available. he kinda looks like a boxer bobbin' and weavin'.

my first test, one that runs in circles but does OK once it finds the enemy, and made with the positive only angles in mind, can be downloaded here. it's the Leftie.zip file. sorry, no direct linkds allowed.

it's still pretty stupid and still gets hung up sometimes but maybe you'll find it useful.

EDIT: to change direct link to page link instead.
