This C++ code will compile on AIX, SunOS and linux using g++, CC or (on AIX) cc. A win95 version will be available soon. New to this version: . Entity-type determination. Easily determine what kind of health, ammo and weapons you are looking at. isHealth(), isShells(), etc. . BSP-loading code incorporated into source. Will load BSP files and can use them for: . Line-of-sight (so you won't shoot walls) and leaf-type determination so you can tell if you're in water, etc. . Better .DEMo recording: mikeBot can now start recording at any point in the level, not just before connection as before. . Directed-graph class, ready-to-use for navigation, with an optimal shorteset-path algorithm included. . Slightly improved qsocket class; can now be used for a listen socket . Fixed some minor (and not so minor) memory leaks. mikeBot is now sealed up good an' tight :) also, the Project Web pages have received a complete makeover and all the info has been brought up to date. There are more developer notes, a draft bot language specification, two new .DEMos and ton o' other goodies. Be sure to drop by and bring the kids along. +--. .--+ -=MIKE=- warren "great spirits have always received | \/ | mbwarren@acs.ucalgary.ca violent opposition from mediocre |__|\/|__| [ www.ucalgary.ca/~mbwarren ] minds" -- albert einstein `->[ the Temple of Mike ]<--' [ the mikeBot project : www.ucalgary.ca/~mbwarren/mikeBot ]
