TeamController

Interface TeamController

public interface TeamController

Interface TeamController must be implemented by every team controller.

Method Summary

double getControl(int p, int i)
          Method getControl() is called by the GUI to extract the current values of the control for player p.

java.lang.String getName()
          Return your team name.

void grabSuccessful(int p)
          Method grabSuccessful() is called by the GUI to let you know that the grab you sought was successful.

void init(int playerNum, double initX, double initY, double initTheta)
          This init() method is called by the GUI once for each player.

void init(SensorPack sensor, int numPlayers, int myteam, boolean onLeft)
          This init() method is called by the GUI once for each team.

void kickSuccessful(int p)
          Method kickSuccessful() is called by the GUI to let you know that the kick was successful.

void move()
          Method move() is called by the GUI at each step so that you can plan your next move for each player.

void startDebug()
          Method startDebug() is called by the GUI when the debug button is clicked.

boolean triesGrab(int p)
          Method triesGrab() is called by the GUI to ask you if you want to hold (grab) the ball right now, since the GUI has determined that it's close enough for a grab.

boolean triesKick(int p)
          Method triesKick() is called by the GUI to ask you if you want to try and kick the ball right now, provided player p is in possession of the ball.

Method Detail

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Return your team name.

init

void init(SensorPack sensor,
          int numPlayers,
          int myteam,
          boolean onLeft)

This init() method is called by the GUI once for each team. This is how you know your team number (0 or 1), whether you are on the left side, and how many players you have. You are also passed a sensor pack, which will be useful in learning about the current state of the field.

init

void init(int playerNum,
          double initX,
          double initY,
          double initTheta)

This init() method is called by the GUI once for each player. This is how you know each player is placed on the field. No, you don't get to decide where your players are placed.

move

void move()

Method move() is called by the GUI at each step so that you can plan your next move for each player. Essentially, all the "intelligence" should be here. You implement code to adjust the controls. Note that the controls themselves are not returned by this method. Instead, the GUI gets them by calling getControl() once for each control.

getControl

double getControl(int p,
                  int i)

Method getControl() is called by the GUI to extract the current values of the control for player p. There are only two now and so i=1 or 2 the only values of i.

triesGrab

boolean triesGrab(int p)

Method triesGrab() is called by the GUI to ask you if you want to hold (grab) the ball right now, since the GUI has determined that it's close enough for a grab. Return true if you decide you want to grab the ball. Note: if a player holds the ball too long, it will be forced out the player.

grabSuccessful

void grabSuccessful(int p)

Method grabSuccessful() is called by the GUI to let you know that the grab you sought was successful. This allows you to update your knowledge of the "state" of the system.

triesKick

boolean triesKick(int p)

Method triesKick() is called by the GUI to ask you if you want to try and kick the ball right now, provided player p is in possession of the ball. Return true if you decide you want to kick the ball. Note: if a player holds the ball too long, it will be forced out the player.

kickSuccessful

void kickSuccessful(int p)

Method kickSuccessful() is called by the GUI to let you know that the kick was successful. This allows you to update your knowledge of the "state" of the system.

startDebug

void startDebug()

Method startDebug() is called by the GUI when the debug button is clicked. Then it's up to you to decide what you want to do. You can write your debug to the file debug.data by calling Debug.println() from your code. It is useful to be able to delay writing to this file because otherwise, it would be filled with useless write's. When you see something going wrong on the screen, click debug, and let that start the debugging log.
