In the description file robocup.dsc there is one line setting the seed for the random number generator. If that seed is same the players will play the same game over and over again. You should find the line "seed 3" and change the number.
OR
You can add a line to the description file like "trials 5" and make the simulator run 5 different games. Simulator will change the seed for each game, but if you run the program again you will get the same 5 games.
Here is step by step instructions for PC and UNIX to install TeamBots. If there
is a problem please send an e-mail to
evren@cs.umd.edu describing exactly the command you try to execute and
the error message you get.
set CLASSPATH=c:\tb\src;c:\tb\lib\collections.jar;. You can put this line into your autoexec.bat so you don't need to
type it every time.
setenv CLASSPATH $HOME/tb/src:$HOME/tb/lib/collections.jar:. You can put this line into your .login or .environment file so you don't need to
type it every time.
NOTE: This command is for csh/tcsh. If you are using bash as your
shell you should use export instead of setenv.
Note that you may need to compile the files with -deprecation
option if you get an error message.
OR you may make the following changes to function names in the
source file

ii. A results section that reports the results of the experimental runs (each game and averages)
iii. A conclusions section that describes (1 page enough) why you got the results you did, and what you might do to improve things if you had more time, energy, java ability and/or knowledge of robotics.
