It doesn't appear to perfectly match the tutorial. I'm not sure if the
tutorial is intended to have you write in the details (didn't check if
the Java version provided them). But that is what I did anyway.
The one issue I've run into is trying to use the seed, details in the
Random, not so random? post.
Sorry for not checking back here. When I wrote the D starter bot, the
tutorial didn't exist yet and I didn't do anything with it later on except
keeping it up to date with the game specs. If the Java/Python bots have
this functionality it should have been added and I believe that other
starter bots miss it as well. It is a bit of a mixed blessing though,
because it doesn't define if a square changes its 'occupied' state when
you issue an order for an ant to move onto it. The visible() function
sounds nice to have though :p. It is needed to distinguish between items
that went out-of-sight and those that were collected/destroyed in any case.
Funnily, after writing the visualizer, the D and Pascal starter bots and
advertising the contest a bit I don't feel like participating in it any
more. :)
