Games::Perlwar - A Perl variant of the classic Corewar game
For the rules of Perlwar, please refers to the Games::Perlwar::Rules manpage.
Use the script pwcreate to create a new game.
$ pwcreate [ <game_directory> ]
pwcreate will create game_directory and populate it with the everything the new game will need. If game_directory is not provided, pwcreate will create a sub-directory called 'game'.
Once the game is created, the script pwupload can be used to submit the agents to be introduced into the Array:
$ pwupload <game_directory> <player>
pwupload takes two arguments: the game directory and the name of the agent's owner. The script then reads the script from STDIN. E.g.:
$ pwupload /home/perlwar/myWar yanick < borg.pl
Finally, pwround executes an iteration of the game:
$ pwround <game_directory>
pwround isn't interactive and can easily be called from a cron job.
pwupload currently only works for local games. It will be soonishly extended to allow submissions to network games.
