Public function getPlayerNameById($player_id) you also should send 'player_id' with you fake id. If you using getPlayerNameById to send player_name in notification, you may have to override id (same for player color).Separate code of ajax actions themselves and functional code, so function can be run from ajax action or from game state action.All actions that can be done by Bot have to have $player_id as argument and not use active player.`player_ai` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' COMMENT '1 = player is an AI', `player_score_aux` int(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `player_score` int(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', 1-6).Ĭreate table similar player to track bots color, name, score, score_aux and possibly other stuffĬREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `playerextra` ( Reserve non-exising player id for bots (i.e.

How you do it then? See playerextra table below. You cannot make fake player active or multiactive.

However you cannot add fake player into player table, so you cannot add any field in that table to track resources for examples. So it natural that Bot behaive like a player in a game. In some games Bot will take player color and whole player board similar to real player, and can even have resources. In addition to whatever game states are doing, it can handle fake players and simulate their moves This is the only feasible way in production. This would be ideal, but currently on Can't Stop does it and no other game can use this technique Recommended way of doing it is add Studio only button (together with debug bar) 'Run bot/Stop bot', when running it can react to state changes and press stuff.Ĭurrently I don't see how it is feasible, JS code requires real player connected to game and browser, so it cannot be run as AI engine Testing bot is actually JavaScript bot that presses on buttons on behalf of player.
