24 <p> <b> Warning: </b> Some things in the windows version will not work. </p>
25 <p> <b> Warning: </b> The actual competition will be run on linux. If your program doesn't work on linux, you may not be able to enter. </p>
32 <p> The best way to do things is to use <a href="http://git-scm.com/"/>git</a> and clone the repository at <a href="http://git.ucc.asn.au/?p=progcomp2013.git"/>git://git.ucc.asn.au/progcomp2013.git</a>. Run "git pull" everytime a major change is announced. </p>
38 <h3> Files and Directories </h3>
41 <li> qchess/qchess.py - Python script version of qchess </li>
42 <li> agents/ - Where all the agents will go when the competition runs
43 <li> agents/sample.py - A sample agent in python </li>
44 <li> qchess/build/ - Compiled binaries of the qchess program </li>
45 <li> qchess/src/ - Source python files for qchess </li>
46 <li> web/ - This website </li>
55 <li> You will need <a href="http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.3"/>python 2.7.3</a> </li>
56 <ul> <li> On Debian/Ubuntu just run `sudo apt-get install python` </li>
57 <li> On Windows, download and install the x86 (32bit) MSI, <b>not</b> the x86-64 (64bit) MSI) </li> </ul>
58 <li> You will need <a href="http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml"/>pygame 1.9.1</a> </li>
59 <ul> <li> On Debian/Ubuntu just run `sudo apt-get install python-pygame` </li>
60 <li> On Windows, ,ake sure you get the pygame for python 2.7 MSI </li> </ul>
62 <li> Hopefully, if you have those, things will just work (TM) </li>
63 <ul> <li> In linux, navigate to the qchess directory, then run with ./qchess.py </li>
64 <li> In windows, the application <i>should</i> start when you double click on it </li>
65 <li> If you want to give command line arguments, you will need to use cmd on windows </li>
71 <h3> Compiled Binaries </h3>
73 <p> <b> Warning:</b> I am no longer testing the binaries. I believe the linux binary works, but the Windows binary might not. </p>
74 <p> If they work for you, that is awesome, but I recommend installing python and using the python script. </p>
75 <p> You'll probably want to enter in python, since the python script gives you a lot of useful functions. </p>
77 <p> <b> On the other hand... </b>, if you have problems with an incompatable version of python, try the binaries! </p>
