Creating your robot

Robots are very simple. All you need to is to create a file name src/robots/Robot01.ts and write a class that implements IRobot interface. Your robot should implement two methods:

• getName(): string which returns the name of your robot
• tick(state: IGameState): IRobotOutput is executed on each game tick. It takes a game state as an argument and returns enabled controls

Game state

Game state is an object containing information about obstacles, enemies and power-ups. It contains three lists: robots, obstacles and power-ups.

• Robots is a list of robots in the game. Robots has attributes like location and angle. See interface IRobotState for more details.
• Obstacles is a list of obstacles. Obstacles are always lines with start and end coordinates. See interface IObstacle for more details.
• Power-ups is a list of powerups. Currently game supports only health-powerup, which restores robots health back to original. See interface IPowerUp for more details.

Robot output

You can imagine robot output as a game controller. It has a bunch of buttons and your robot needs to tell which buttons are pressed down. Output needs to implement IRobotOutput which has the following boolean flags:

• accelerate
• reverse
• left
• right
• gunShoot
