Hi cygni / maintainers of paintbot!

I am currently just going through the source code in order to automate some parts of my training model for my bot and I stumble upon how you have implemented authorization. Cool I first thought, I can use it to get the token to authorize some websocket calls. But then out of curiosity, I tried the usercredentials on the live website aswell, and yeah.. Bad news. I got authorized.

I hope this can be changed before the tournament starts, because this will break the fairness of the game, if someone outside of the organizers gets hold on an auth-token.

Just change the usercredentials for the live server.

Thanks for hosting this, and I hope I will get a seat.

I am currently the 1st on the waiting list (Accordingly to Josefina, A.)

At least provide JSON-examples of API

• Endpoints
• Websocket messages

Suspected that it could be buggy in some situations

Problem: Two bots may end up indefinitely stunning each other by headbutting for the same tile over and over again

Proposed solution: Add randomness to the stun duration for collisions which would allow one bot to escape an aggressor.

• Add setting for minimum stun duration
• Add setting for maximum stun duration
• Change collision stuns to be random between min and max

Add to the client utils for all clients that it should be easier to check if a tile is coloured and by whom.

Right now you have to loop over all characters, check their coloured positions and see if that matches a tile.

The default game settings should have number of obstacles to be 50 for a more fun and engaging environment

• Define common interface
• Briefly explain what to do to create a new client
