Submission

Submission process is as follows:

1. Create a JAR file that contains your bot (make sure that this JAR file contains only your bot, and does not bundle the whole microRTS with it). Feel free to name your JAR however you want, but I recommend you add your name or the bots name to it, to make sure there are no name clashes with other submissions.

   1. Send a zipped version of this JAR via email to the competition organizer at: rubens.moraes@ufv.br

      • Make sure that in the email you specify:

        • Your name and institution

        • The specific microRTS AI competition you are submitting the bot to (e.g., if this is for a competition associated with a conference)

        • Which "tracks" of the competition is your bot ready to participate in

        • URL where the code+description for your bot can be found (feel free to update code+description after submission, but the version that will be used will be the one submitted in the email). This is MANDATORY, as the competition is open source. No bots will be accepted without source code.

      • If your or my email server rejects zipped files, just upload your zipped file somewhere (Google Drive, DropBox, GitHub, etc.) and include the download link in your email.

Example submission (just in case):

• The ZIP file that you will submit should be something like this one: example-submission.zip

• The source code for that example submission (just for reference) can be found here: example-submission-src.zip
