5 <title> UCC::Progcomp 2013 - Writing an Agent </title>
11 <h1> What API do I use? </h1>
13 <p> If you are <b>not</b> using python, your agent will use the <a href="agent_text.html"/>text based API</a> </p>
14 <p> If you are using python, you should use the <a href="agent_python.html"/>python API</a>. But you don't have to. </p>
18 <h2> I've read that, but don't know where to start </h2>
21 <li> Pick a language. Python is recommended for beginners. </li>
22 <li> Look at the sample agents. Here is the <a href="../agents/sample"/>sample python agent</a> </li>
23 <li> Copy sample and rewrite amazingly awesome quantum chess algorithm of supreme domination </li>
28 <h2> That was too long; I didn't read it </h2>
30 <p> Read the <a href="../agents/sample"/>sample python agent</a> instead. </p>
34 <h2> Policy on Threading and Forking </h2>
36 <p> <b> Don't do it. It is not allowed. Use a single thread like a real man/woman/robot. </b> </p>
39 <h2> This API seems terrible and I want to use threads</h2>
41 <p> Too bad. Write your own competition. </p>
