Can we run Lidraughts bot in heroku

[techyking07]

The title is the question

Please tell me @AttackingOrDefending

[AttackingOrDefending]

Yes. You do exactly what you would do for lichess-bot. I will make some changes explaining how to run a bot in heroku.

[AttackingOrDefending]

I pushed the changes explaining it. You can find them here.

@AttackingOrDefending what is the recommended engine to make bot using heroku

[AttackingOrDefending]

You can use Scan (https://github.com/rhalbersma/scan).

If I run this code in heroku, how can I use this for what?

[greenbaytnt]

And could you tell me how to use 8x8 CBEngine in detail?

[AttackingOrDefending]

Use the steps here, to run a bot on heroku. You can't run a CBEngine in heroku because heroku uses Linux while the engines were compiled for windows.

Thank you for your response.
I ran the code in heroku.
Then how can I use application in heroku?
I can't load page after deploy this code on heroku.
Thank you.

For an engine you can download Scan (hjetten.home.xs4all.nl/scan/scan.html). Copy or rename the file config.yml.default to config.yml. Create an account and get a bot token (github.com/AttackingOrDefending/lidraughts-bot#lidraughts-oauth). To setup the engine follow the steps github.com/AttackingOrDefending/lidraughts-bot#setup-engine. Edit the variants (supported_variants) and time controls (supported_tc) from the config.yml (use # to disable certain ones).

For hosting it on heroku:

• Move all the files from "./heroku" to "."
• In startbot.sh, change "chmod +x ./engines/engine_name" to "chmod +x ./engines/scan_linux" (rename Scan to scan_linux and use the linux version)
• Follow the last 3 steps from github.com/AttackingOrDefending/lidraughts-bot/tree/main/heroku
• Maybe you can deploy from github instead of heroku git and put the token in the environment variable but I haven't tested it.

I already deployed the code on heroku.
After deploy on heroku, how to use it?
Thank you.

[AttackingOrDefending]

Go to Resources (https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps//resources), click "Edit dyno formation" and enable the app and click "Confirm".

[greenbaytnt]

I already done and I saw this log.

I want to know how to use it.
Thank you.

I'm going to make a checkers game AI engine using Node js or Python.
But I'm a beginner and have poor algorithm knowledge.
Do you know where is checkers game AI engine made by Python or Node js?
Thank you.

[AttackingOrDefending]

The log means that it works.

Examples of a Python checkers engine:
