QA #2: Check Occupancy Function

[arth-shukla]

1. all print statements should be printed to stderr, NOT stdout (printing to stdout will break the program) i.e. print(stuff, file=sys.stderr
2. in addition to the expected results, please check ALL other items in obs['player_0'] (or whatever player number) to make sure everything makes sense (e.g. obs['player_0']['resetting'] is not True while the players should be alive). if smth seems off, pls flag it
3. if the respawning bombs and boosts are annoying, at line 208 change self.place_boost_bomb(rate = 0.1) to self.place_boost_bomb(rate = 0). make sure you don't commit this change
4. once done, @ me in the comments and explain what you found

Tests

• Please check this scenario with multiple different enclosings, not just one. Different shapes, sizes, etc.

Scenario 1

• You only need 1 bot for this one
• player_0 moves around the map (without dying) and returns to their zone, enclosing an area
• Please test with bombs and boosts - you can turn off bomb/boost respawning if you want, but at least keep the initial bombs and boosts. This is because, if an enclosed territory includes bombs or boosts, that will still be considered a part of that territory

Expected Results

• Perform both checks
• Visual check via the replay (include -o test, which outputs to test.json. upload test.json to the replay script: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ncSEI2xelHIanrWlnqZVIWYn51UTqq7g?authuser=1#scrollTo=zUWD3nDJ4kOi)
  • all of the area that player_0 encloses (including this own line) should become a part of the zone
  • no area outside of this should be enclosed
  • If there is a bomb or boost, it's still there on the board, but it's added to player_0's territory in obs['board']['players_state']
• Programmatic check for values
  • set board = obs['board']['board_state']
  • set player_owned = obs['board']['players_state']
  • set player_num = obs[self.player]['player_num'])
  • set PASSED = 1
  • set occupied_territory = np.where(np.logical_and(board != PASSED, player_owned == player_num))
  • find num_squares = len(occupied_territory[0])
  • num_squares should be the correct number of tiles occupied

Scenario 1

• You need 2 bots for this one
• player_0 has some territory. player_1 intersects that territory and encircles it such that some of player_0's territory is inside the encircled area
• player_0's territory inside the encircled area should be overwritten as player_1's territory
• Please test with bombs and boosts - you can turn off bomb/boost respawning if you want, but at least keep the initial bombs and boosts. This is because, if an enclosed territory includes bombs or boosts, that will still be considered a part of that territory

  • set occupied_territory = np.where(np.logical_and(board != PASSED, player_owned == player_num))
  • find num_squares = len(occupied_territory[0])
  • num_squares should be reduced for player_0 and increased for player_1 by the correct amounts
