Re: Introducing Podball

New version of Podball available!

Reminder:

Podball is a futuristic ball game and programming contest, where you program the behaviour of your team to play a simple ball game against other teams.

More info here: https://sourceforge.net/p/podball/wiki/Home/

Now with full embedded Lua 5.3.4 support for writing your bot AI!

Check it out and participate.

Cheers,

Lars Ruoff

Hi,
for those interested,
it is now possible to program Podball (https://sourceforge.net/projects/podball/) control modules in Lua!

I have made a simple example here: https://sourceforge.net/p/podball/code/ci/default/tree/bin/modules/lea/lea.lua
It is very dumb and simple. But you still have to beat it!
And I have other, better playing control modules, if you need a real challenge.

have fun,
Lars R.

Hi,

here's a (very short and simple) video of the game in action:

So would someone be interested in developing the Lua bindings?

It reminds me "button football" [1], a game played in Brazil.
