Template for robocode gradle java project

Instructions

To got it working:

• install jdk 8, 11 or later Oracle JDK, Liberica JDK
• install robocode on your computer
• change robotClass to your robot's className in gradle.properties
• change robocodeDir to your robocode installation directory in gradle.properties
• create properties file with your class name in src/main/resources just like mine com/kortov/MyRobot.properties (package structure is neccessary) and remove my properties (I'll improve my script later to get rid of this step)
• replace robot.classname and robot.version in your resources properties file to your robotClass and robotVersion values from gradle.properties (I'll improve it later)
• (optional) replace robotClassEnemy in gradle.properties to your downloaded or built bot enemy classes (you can specify them with comma). Bots classes or jars should exist in robocodeDir/robots
• cd in console to a project folder and run gradlew superstart in console (./gradlew superstart on linux)

That's it! Your bot will be in projectDirectory/build/libs and in robocodeDir/robots

Change version of the bot

Manually change versions in two properties from src/main/resources and gradle.properties otherwise robocode will play the old version or won't find the new one

Gradle tasks usage

cleanup

invokes clean and removes your files of bot's jar, bots game scenario and imported bots table from your robocode installation directory

install

builds jar, moves jar and bots game scenario to robocode dir

start

starts robocode app with your bot game scenario

superstart
