Rumblebot (Robot Rumble CLI tool)

Features

1. Easily run robot programs stored on your filesystem, which makes it possible to use a custom IDE.
2. View battle results in both a web GUI (like on the site), or directly in your terminal.
3. Easily create and update robots from the command line.

Installation

1. Download the appropriate release from the Github releases page.
2. Unzip the folder somewhere in your filesystem.
3. Open a terminal and navigate to the folder. If you've never used a terminal before, you can read a quick primer here (it's way easier than it seems!) In this case, you will want to run cd [FOLDER_PATH].
4. On windows, you can go ahead and run the program with ./rumblebot.exe. On Macos/Linux, you first need to make the rumblebot file runnable by executing chmod +x ./rumblebot. Then you can run it with ./rumblebot.

Please note: Just because your robots live in the filesystem does not mean that you can import external dependencies. Support for third-party packages is on roadmap, but implementing it is a very nuanced challenge. If you really, really need a library, your best bet is to minify it and just include it at the top of your program.
