StarterKit Python Considition 2020

This is the StarterKit for Considition 2020, a help to get going as quickly as possible with the competition. The StarterKit contains four main parts.

  • The Main Program: This is where you implement your solution. There is already an example solution implemented that works out of the box, but you will have to develop it further to get a better score.
  • The Game Layer: A wrapper between the API and the Main Program. Helps you with formatting the input to the API and keep an updated game state.
  • The API: A representation of the REST-API that the game is played with. Can be used directly or through the Game Layer.
  • The Game State: A representation of the Game State and the information about the current game.

Each part us described in greater detail below. The competition itself is also described on Considition.com/rules.

Installation and running

Run main.py

Main Program

The Main Program is a simple loop. Each run of the program does the following:

  • Create a new game
  • Start the game
  • Take 700 actions
    • This is where you can implement your solution. Depending on the current Game State, take actions that maximize your final score.
  • Print the final score

Game Layer

The game layer has all the functions you need to play the game.

Game Setup

  • New Game Create a new game and get the Game Info.
  • Start Game Start an already created game and get the initial Game State.
  • End Game End a started game prematurely. Since there is a limit on how many games can be active at the same time for each team, you might have to use this to free up slots.
  • Score Get the score for a finished game. The final turn of the game has to have happened for the score to be available.
  • Game Info This can be used to get the Game Info of an already started game, for example if you want to resume an ongoing game after making changes.
  • Game State This can be used to get the current Game State of an ongoing game.

Actions Each Action returns an updated Game State

  • Place Foundation Places a new building on a free spot on the map. Is used both for Residences and Utility Buildings. A building must be in either the Available Residences or Available Utilities and the current Turn has to be at least equal to the buildings Release Tick for it to be placed. The building has to be constructed before it has any effect on the game.
  • Build Builds an already placed building. A building is finished when its Build Progess reaches 100.
  • Demolish Demolishes a building. If a building has the attribute Can Be Demolished set to false, the demolish action will have no effect on that building.
  • Buy Upgrade Buys and activates an upgrade for a Residence. If the building is already affected by the Effect of the upgrade, this will have no effect.
  • Maintenance Repairs a Residence, resetting its Health to 100.
  • Adjust Energy Sets the Requested Energy In for a Residence to the specified value. This is used to control the temperature of a building and costs 150 Funds each time.

Helpers

  • Get Blueprint Returns a blueprint matching the name of a building. This is useful to look up the static information of a building. There are variants for both Residences and Utilities.
  • Get Effect Returns an effect matching that name. This is useful to look up what the effects on a building does.

API

The definition of the API and what it returns can be found on game.Considition.com/swagger, or on Considition.com/rules. If you want to view the Replay of a game, use visualizer.Considition.com/swagger.

Game State

The Game State is split into two parts. One that is static per map, called Game Info and one that changes depending on your actions, called Game State.

Game Info

  • Game Id The ID of the current game, useful if you want to view the replay or you have multiple games going at the same time.
  • Map Name The name of the map you are currently playing on.
  • Max Turns The maximum number of turns the game will go on for.
  • Max Temp Approximately the highest temperature that can be reached on this map.
  • Min Temp Approximately the lowest temperature that can be reached ont his map.
  • Map An array of arrays of integers representing the map. Buildable slots are 0's. The map is not changing and thus will not reflect where buildings get placed.
  • Energy Levels A list of the types of energy that can be purchased.
    • Energy Threshold If the amount of energy you buy is above this threshold, this is the type of energy you have to buy. This changes depending on the map.
    • Cost per Mwh The cost to buy the energy. This is the same even among different maps.
    • Co2 per Mwh The amount of Co2 released when buying this energy. This is the same even among different maps.
  • Available Residences The residences that can be bought on this map. Some buildings might not be available right away, depending on their Release Tick.
    • Building Name The name of the building.
    • Cost Cost in funds to buy the building.
    • Co2 Cost Cost in Co2 to buy the building.
    • Base Energy Need The lowest amount of energy needed to sustain the building. You always have to buy at least this much energy if able.
    • Build Speed How much the build progress is increased each time you call Build on this building.
    • Type A residence or a utility.
