This is a framework for pitting AIs against each other in squad combat.
AIs are given knowledge of their bot's position, their opponents' / teammates' position, and the change in time since last update
Give AIs visibility to projectiles so they can dodge
Add validation for AI's starting stats (speed / firing rate / damage). AIs should have a maximum number of points to apply across their starting stats, but currently they have no limits.
Add special projectile abilities (damage over time, heal allies, slow target, etc)
Consider opening issues for these instead of having a todo list
Install LOVE and call it from the root directory (love .)
The Random AI is an example of how to create an AI.
AIs must provide initial conditions (speed, health, firing rate) as well as a projectile effect (currently, the only effect is "Damage").
Every time the game state is updated, your AI will be called with the list of bots, your active bot's index in that list, and the change in time since the last update.
Once your AI is created, place it in config.lua to try it out!
Speed: Movement speed of your bots
Health: Damage that your bots can take before they are destroyed
Firing rate: Speed at which your bot can fire per second
Effect: Type of effect that is applied when your bot's projectile hits a target
Effect power: Strength of the effect
