Galaxy
Galaxy is the framework that powers the infrastructure for MIT Battlecode. The galaxy consists of three main parts:
- Siarnaq, the competitor dashboard that interfaces with our data storage. (Siarnaq, in turn, has two parts: a frontend and a backend.)
- Saturn, the compute cluster that compiles competitor bots and runs matches.
- Titan, the malware scanner that scans all file uploads.
Development environment installation
Please follow these steps carefully to ensure your development environment is initialized correctly.
- Clone this repository at battlecode/galaxy.
- Install Conda, our package-manager and build-system.
Prepare your environment using
conda env create -n galaxy -f environment-dev.ymlandconda activate galaxy. - We use Pre-commit to sanity-check the codebase before committing.
It will be automatically installed by Conda.
Your local git will reject commits that fail these sanity-checks.
Initialize Pre-commit using
pre-commit install.
If the Conda specifications are updated upstream, you can refresh your local environment to match it by running conda env update -n galaxy -f environment-dev.yml.
Afterwards, to run systems locally, see each of their respective directory's readme files.
Development workflow
See docs-general/workflow.md for workflow information. Reading this page, especially the "Coding" and "Review" sections, before starting work is highly recommended.
For specific development workflows in each module, see the README files in the respective folder.
