Introduction
============
GNU Robots is a game/diversion where you construct a program for a
little robot, then set him loose and watch him explore a world on his
own. The robot program is written in Scheme, and is implemented using
GNU Guile.
Installing GNU Robots
======================
(0) To build GNU Robots, you *first* need to have already compiled and
installed the GNU Guile library. GNU Robots was built using Guile 2.0.
(1) Type:
./configure
To specify an unusual location for GNU Guile, you can use the
`--with-guile=' option, like this:
./configure --with-guile=/home/user
(2) Look at the generated `Makefile', and check that everything is
okay. Then type:
make
Notes
=====
* There is really one key missing piece in GNU Robots: I had
* originally envisioned a "visual" programming interface for GNU
* Robots, one where you could create a robot program by dropping into
* place icons that represent the robot's actions. There would be one
* icon to tell the robot to move forward, another to have him turn to
* the left or right, and another to have him pick up things or fire
* his little gun.
*
* This programming interface would really just act as a kind of code
* generator; it would write a Scheme program that you could then load
* into GNU Robots.
*
* This will hopefully be in the next release!
To run GNU Robots, run "gnurobots"
--
The sample map that is provided as "maps/small.map" is just a single
room, with prizes all along the four walls. The sample robot program
"scheme/simple.scm" knows how to pick up all these prizes and then
quit. Other map files can be found in the maps/ directory, and other
robot programs are in the scheme/ directory.
The usage for gnurobots is as follows:
gnurobots [OPTION]... [FILE]
Options are:
-f, --map-file=FILE Load map file
-s, --shields=N Set initial shields to N
-e, --energy=N Set initial energy to N
-V, --version Output version information and exit
-h, --help Display this help and exit
Note: FILE refers to a scheme file and ./bin/gnurobots enters into
interactive mode if it is not specified.
