#Hive AI in Node.js

This is the easiest way to get started quickly.

  1. Look at this reference implementation and accompanying package.json to get a feel for the basic structure.
  2. Create a new folder in the ai directory at the root of the project
  3. In your new folder (I'll call it new-ai) create a new-ai.js and a package.json
  4. In the package.json, the following fields should be considered required: name, active, version, long_name, module, description
  5. In the new-ai.js, you must export a function called process_message, taking one argument: the message object.
  6. Your AI will be expected to return a response message, just like the ones in this API specification document.
  7. Before trying to run your AI, make sure the active property in the package.json is set to true.
  8. Now it should be all ready to go. You can either run it through the hive-cli to pit it against other AI and see how it fares, or play against it yourself in the node-webkit-ui. In either mode, it is recommended you use Local mode as communications have less overhead, but feel free to test with Remote (TCP) as well, if you're curious.
