Re: [papyrus-ic] RE : Papyrus Hackathon
Hi everyone,

Would that be Moka? I understand that takes in fUML models and runs them. That could work as an advanced version of what we're proposing. For a first hackathon with people who are new to UML in general, something simpler could perhaps work better?

Our idea is defining a UML profile and then applying it on a class diagram to generate a map with units + AI for a battle in an existing strategy game - we guess that a real-time strategy game would be the most fun to watch. The attendants would get practice with the basics of class diagrams and profiles and they would be able to see the results on the screen. Optionally, more skilled attendants could be allowed to modify the profile and/or the generator to produce more nuanced AIs.

This really hinges on the choice of game and the APIs we have available. Our priority is to find a game that lends itself well to the problem - we have looked into Battle of Wesnoth (open source fantasy RTS) and it allows scripting through Lua, so a code generation approach may be feasible. Another option is looking into automating Battlecode battles. We are open to suggestions, however - this is all in a very early stage, and we did promise killer robots over on Twitter :-).

Kind regards,
Antonio
