Instructions :

Open browser ine the VM, go to :
https://github.com/RyanrDavies/curvytron-client

download miniconda 3 (Linux Installers)

In your download folder, open a terminal :

sh Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
(or write "sh Mini" and press tab to autocomplete)

Create a new folder "curvytronbots" on the desktop

Open a new terminal in this folder (or type cd ~/Desktop/curvytronbots in the old terminal) :

conda create -n cc python=3 spyder scikit-image
conda activate cc
pip install gym
pip install websocket-client
pip install scikit-image

Install git :
sudo apt install git

clone project :
https://github.com/RyanrDavies/curvytron-client.git

Go in the project directory :
cd curvytron-client

Open the project directory and Edit file heuristic_agent.py with text editor
1) Replace this line :

DEFAULT_ROOM = 'room_{}'.format(random.randint(0,10000))

by

DEFAULT_ROOM = 'bot_room'

2) Comment this line by adding "#" : (Be careful you do not change tabulation, if you do the file will be broken)

agent = RaymanAgent('Rayman', serveraddress, room, display=True)

Become

# agent = RaymanAgent('Rayman', serveraddress, room, display=True)

3) Replace this line

# serveraddress = "curvytron.com:80" # Online

by

# serveraddress = "www.curvytron.com" # Online

Save the file ! (Save button or ctrl + S)

Open a new tab in your browser, and go to http://www.curvytron.com

Create a new room called "bot_room" (it's the name we defined earlier)

Open your terminal and write this to launch the bots :

python3.8 heuristic_agent.py

Bots connect to the room, just start the game

Enjoy ! :)

Note :
If you want to stop the script, open your terminal and press ctrl + C

You can play the game outside the virtual machine, create the room in your usual browser, start the script into the VM, and go back to your browser.
It works as well and you would have better performances while playing.
