Useful facts

• Vision (See https://github.com/acmucsd/hide-and-seek-ai/blob/f06770a423b0602df8a6393e0c470c2027bc54a5/src/Map/index.ts)

  • vision range = sqrt(48), inclusive, aka. r = [0, sqrt(48)]
  • quoting from it:

  export const defaultMatchConfigs: HideAndSeekConfigs = {
    liveView: true,
    delay: 0.2,
    roundLimit: 200,
    seed: 0,
    replayDirectory: './replays',
    mode: GameModes.tag,
    randomizeSeeker: true,
    storeReplay: true,
    parameters: {
      VISION_RANGE: 48,
      DENSITY: 0.35,
      SEEKER_MAX: 3,
      MIN_HEIGHT: 16,
      MIN_WIDTH: 16,
      MAX_HEIGHT: 24,
      MAX_WIDTH: 24
    }
  }

• Constants

  • Max number of units on a team: 3
  • either horizontal or vertical symmetry
  • generated using game of life (GOL) rules

• ID assignment

  • each seeker will have a corresponding hider spawned at the opposite end of the line of symmetry with id = self.id + 1
    • See https://github.com/acmucsd/hide-and-seek-ai/blob/f06770a423b0602df8a6393e0c470c2027bc54a5/src/Map/gen.ts#L27
  • IDs always start from 4
    • public gameID: number = 4;
  • Therefore
    • 4: Seeker 1
    • 5: Hider 1
    • 6: Seeker 2
    • 7: Hider 2
    • 8: Seeker 3
    • 9: Hider 3
    • even: seeker
    • odd: hider
