QA #4 Big Gulp

1. all print statements should be printed to stderr, NOT stdout (printing to stdout will break the program) i.e. print(stuff, file=sys.stderr
2. in addition to the expected results, please check ALL other items in obs['player_0'] (or whatever player number) to make sure everything makes sense (e.g. obs['player_0']['resetting'] is not True while the players should be alive). if smth seems off, pls flag it
3. if the respawning bombs and boosts are annoying, at line 208 change self.place_boost_bomb(rate = 0.1) to self.place_boost_bomb(rate = 0). make sure you don't commit this change
4. once done, @ me in the comments and explain what you found

Tests

Scenario 1

• you only need one bot for this one
• try not to turn off bombs/boosts, if possible
• player_0 captures territory going up to the edge (make sure to do this step first so that you can enclose the entire board)
• using this territory, player_0 encircles the entire board from edge to edge

Expected Results

• player_0 should own the entire board. Perform the below checks:
• Visual check via the replay (include -o test, which outputs to test.json. upload test.json to the replay script: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ncSEI2xelHIanrWlnqZVIWYn51UTqq7g?authuser=1#scrollTo=zUWD3nDJ4kOi)
  • easy visual check
• Programmatic check for values
  • set board = obs['board']['board_state']
  • set player_owned = obs['board']['players_state']
  • set player_num = obs[self.player]['player_num'])
  • set PASSED = 1
  • set occupied_territory = np.where(np.logical_and(board != PASSED, player_owned == player_num))
  • find num_squares = len(occupied_territory[0])
  • num_squares should decrease for player_0 every time player_1 enters player_0's territory

Scenario 2

• two players
• try not to turn off bombs/boosts, if possible
• player_0 does the same thing as before
• However, the exact moment right before player_0 captures the entire board, player_1 dies
  • In other words, make it so on iter n player_1 dies, then iter n+1 player_0 captures the board

Expected Results

• player_1 should not be able to respawn anywhere until player_0 dies
• Visual check via the replay (include -o test, which outputs to test.json. upload test.json to the replay script: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ncSEI2xelHIanrWlnqZVIWYn51UTqq7g?authuser=1#scrollTo=zUWD3nDJ4kOi)
  • easy visual check
• Programmatic check for values
  • set board = obs['board']['board_state']
  • set player_owned = obs['board']['players_state']
  • set player_num = obs[self.player]['player_num'])
  • set PASSED = 1
  • set occupied_territory = np.where(np.logical_and(board != PASSED, player_owned == player_num))
  • find num_squares = len(occupied_territory[0])
  • num_squares should be 0 for player_0 and should be all enclosed space for player_1
