CS227B: General Game Playing

Instructions

  1. Download and install eclipse if you don't have it already.
  2. Create a new Java project in Eclipse where your code will reside (File -> New -> Java Project).
  3. Download the source code and unzip it in the project's directory. (The unzipped src folder should become source code for the project.)
  4. Right click on the project and select Properties. Under Java Build Path on the left, select the Libraries tab. Click "Add JARs..." and select the five .jar files listed under bin.external, then select OK. Then click "Add Library...", select JUnit, and add JUnit 3 to the project. Click OK, and let the project recompile; this should fix the remaining errors. (If there are still errors, make sure your project is using Java 1.6.)
  5. Try the ServerPanel and PlayerPanel to make sure the code is functioning. (You might need to run the ServerPanel twice to get cached games to show up.) If everything is working, then now would be a good time to set up a code repository for your team.
