All your questions are answered there. And if they aren't, you at least can ask/receive an question/answer. IMHO, MJR ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

I think the question was about the way SofCheck's converter is working: will translating the converter's output require libraries other than 1) those of C++ proper (on Linux, for the contest) and 2) pthread, as the contest seems to require? Or will it (3) require the presence of other files, possibly binary files, possibly in other directories, files that provide for the equivalent of an Ada run-time system? From the rules: "Your player will be implemented as a separate program, in C++, C#, Java or Python. You will interact with the game by reading information about the game world from standard input and writing your next move to standard output." "Source code for a player may consist of multiple files, but all files must reside in a single directory." "For C/C++ submissions, all files ending in .cpp will be compiled and linked together into an executable. During compilation, the submission directory will be the current directory. Player code will be compiled with the -O option and will be linked with -lpthread." ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

My question had nothing to do with the contest. It was about the requirements for a program produced by SofCheck's converter. Typically such a program would need access to an Ada-run-time library to handle tasking, protected objects, and the like. -- Jeff Carter "To Err is human, to really screw up, you need C++!"
