UATC - Ultimate Algorithm Test Client

This is a small test package for testing the socialgorithm platform.

Getting started

Running from NPX executable

This is the quickest way to get started:

``bash
npx @socialgorithm/uatc help
`

Building and running from Sources

To install and run this util clone this repo and:

`bash
npm i
npm run build
node ./dist/uatc.js help
`

This expects that @socialgorithm/uabc is installed globally.

You will also need a player(s) that is ready to connect and play games.

uatc init - Spits out a scaffolding config file.

uatc play - Play a tournament.

uatc start-servers - Starts the game servers.

uatc stop-servers - Stops the game servers.

uatc validate-servers - Prints the status of the game servers

This package is configured via a uatc.js file in the directory your running the command.

The best way to create this is to run uatc init which will give you the basic scaffolding.

Config:

`js
{
playTournament: { // The config for the play mode.
players: [ // A collection of players to run against the game
{
command: 'node example.js', // The command to run to start this player. See uabc file arg
number: 5, // The number of players of this type to connect
name: 'example' // The name to use when connecting to the game
}
],
tournamentServerAddress: 'http://localhost:3141',
autoplay: true,
tournamentSettings: { // Settings to use when playing the tournament
timeout: 100,
numberOfGames: 50,
type: "DoubleElimination",
autoPlay: false
}
},
servers: { // config for the servers
tournament: {
location: '../tournament-server', // relative location of the server. Must be npm installed and built
startupCommand: 'node ./dist/index.js', // ensure this command starts the server rather than runs a script that spawns it like an npm command
expectedPort: 3141 // where it is expected to be once started. Used for validation
},
game: {
location: '../tic-tac-toe-game-server',
startupCommand: 'node ./dist/index.js',
expectedPort: 5433
}
}
