This is a Java tool for testing bots for CodinGame multiplayer Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe.

How does it work?

Compile sources. Run Tester.class with params:

• Command line to start a new version of your bot process
• Command line to start an old version of your bot process
• Number of games

As example:

java Tester "java -cp C:\Documents\CodinGame\TicTacToe\out\ Player" "java -cp C:\Documents\CodinGame\TicTacToe\out\ PlayerOld" 100

For this example 100 games will be played, where new version of your bot will play on the first and then second positions consistently.

OR

Download and run TicTacToeTester.jar with same params:

java - jar TicTacToeTester.jar "java -cp C:\Documents\CodinGame\TicTacToe\out\ Player" "java -cp C:\Documents\CodinGame\TicTacToe\out\ PlayerOld" 100

During the testing you will see result of testing of current game:

Game 192: frame 41; WIN; avg 1,41; wins 58,85%

At the end of the run you will see a result of testing. Something like:

Results for bot java -cp C:\Documents\CodinGame\TicTacToe\out\ Player
Wins: 117; Loses: 83; Draws: 0
Average place 1.415
Wins 58.5 %

This means that new version is better than the old one.

The result like “Average place 1.5” means that both bots are equal.

NOTE: There is no any timelimits for testing bots.
