First Steps Questions

[WolfgangFahl]

On my Mac with MacOS 10.13.6 and macports it did the following steps

git clone https://github.com/tailuge/bot-o-tron
cd bot-o-tron
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
# relogin since bash profile is changed ...
nvm install v10.15.3
npm install -g yarn
npm i -D nyc
yarn install
export API_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxx
yarn test

which is a bit more than described in your readme. The tests ran fine and yarn start seems to do something sensible. The last line is

Wake up server listening on 5000

Where to go from here? How is a Javascript bot now integrated?

[tailuge]

on lichess you need to make a bot account https://lichess.org/api#operation/botAccountUpgrade

| * Token can be created on BOT accounts at https://lichess.org/account/oauth/token/create |

Put that token in your environment with  export API_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxx Then your local javascript program can connect to lichess and you should be able to challenge it to a game in lichess.

Thank you for your swift response. I already had a bot account and didn't know how to proceed. By chance i saw that there were some entries like:

STREAM data : {"type":"gameStart","game":{"id":"FitklaCe"}}
GET api/bot/game/stream/FitklaCe stream
STREAM data : {"id":"FitklaCe","variant":{"key":"standard","name":"Standard","short":"Std"},"clock":null,"speed":"correspondence","perf":{"name":"Correspondence"},"rated":false,"createdAt":1576917061855,"white":{"id":"seppl2019","name":"seppl2019","title":"BOT","rating":1500,"provisional":true},"black":{"aiLevel":1},"initialFen":"startpos","type":"gameFull","state":{"type":"gameState","moves":"","wtime":2147483647,"btime":2147483647,"winc":0,"binc":0,"bdraw":false,"wdraw":false}}

I still do not understand what to do next to integrate my own software. See https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/play-chess-with-a-webcam/issues/17

Are you able to challenge it to a game on lichess logged in with your human account? When you play the moves in lichess you will see this kind of output which shows you the moves played by the opponent and the move the bot wants to play.

Are you able to challenge it to a game on lichess logged in with your human account? Yes When you play the moves in lichess you will see this kind of output which shows you the moves >played by the opponent and the move the bot wants to play. My use case is a bit different - i want to play with two human players and only record the game. Do I need two bot accounts for that or would one do?

Also I still don't see what I need to do to modify the behavior of the bot. Is there already a preconfigured chess bot active?

_To implement your chess bot you only need to create one class that implements the method:__

Where and how do i do that? How is this class integrated?

[WolfgangFahl]

I see there are 4 bots in the bots directory. How is the active bot selected?

[tailuge]

by default your javascript is using this code to act as the bot: https://github.com/tailuge/bot-o-tron/blob/master/src/bots/PatzerPlayer.js

it is called with the moves so far in the game and you have to return the next move you wish to play.

Modify that file is what you have to do.

So I am reverse engineering this by looking at the source code ... it would be great if the readme would state a bit about these assumptions:

  links += await startBot(process.env.API_TOKEN, new PatzerPlayer());
  links += await startBot(process.env.API_TOKEN_SWARM, new AntiPatzerPlayer());

So indeed there might be wo tokens and two bots involved ...

[tailuge]

that right just stick to the PatzerPlayer and go from there

Since my server is in python i'll first use https://github.com/rhgrant10/berserk to get aquainted with the API as such and may be get back later to this javascript library. Thanks for the help!
