Installation and Quick Start¶
Quick Start¶
You can run a test game between two of the baseline bots:
$ rc-bot-match reconchess.bots.random_bot reconchess.bots.random_bot
Then replay the game:
$ rc-replay <game-output-json-file>
Or, play against a bot yourself:
$ rc-play reconchess.bots.random_bot
Now you are ready to make your own bot algorithm to play Reconnaissance Chess.
