The Player class

The only thing the player module contains is the Player class.

Your AI will basically be a class that will extend the Player class.

Since your AI is not interactive, the only method you have to implement is the action method. This method takes as parameters self, of course, and also:

• map, which is the current map of the game
• id which is the id of your player (because the map refers to player 1 and 2 but you don't know if you're player one or two)

You can refer to the game page of the wiki to have more information about this class.

This function will return a Direction. It is a python enum that you can use directly, like in

return Direction.UP

or with an integer, like in

i = 2
return Direction(i) # returns Direction.RIGHT

Your class may then look like this:

class MyMonsterAI(Player):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MyMonsterAI, self).__init__()

    def action(self, map, id):
        # Analyse the map
        # Do many computations
        # Make a sacrifice to the gods of tron
        # Return a direction
        return Direction.UP
