Only update clients when required #63

Closed DanielBolef closed 8 years ago

Have gladiators only pull new client code when a new commit has been detected. We need this because we are getting to the point where we have enough gladiators running to kill the webserver.

Doing this leaves the possibility that AIs may create files that could be used in the next game. Something needs to prevent this, such as keeping a master copy of the client that is updated from git, then copied to (and replacing) the running copy when a game is played with that AI.

Another, probably better way to assure nothing is written would be to disable client write privileges.

This is already part of the core framework design that has been discussed for the rewrite thus far.
