Class Condition

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    NextTurnCondition
    public class Condition
extends java.lang.Object
    The Condition class is used for testing if a specific condition is met. For example, program execution can be blocked by using the IBot.waitFor(dev.robocode.tankroyale.botapi.events.Condition) method, which will wait until a condition is met. A condition can also be used to trigger a custom event by adding a custom event handler using the method IBaseBot.addCustomEvent(dev.robocode.tankroyale.botapi.events.Condition) that will trigger IBaseBot.onCustomEvent(dev.robocode.tankroyale.botapi.events.CustomEvent) when the condition is fulfilled.

    Here is an example of how to use the condition: 

    
  public class MyBot extends Bot {
    public void run() {
      while (isRunning()) {
        ...
        setTurnRight(90);
        waitFor(new TurnCompleteCondition(this));
        ...
      }
    }

    public class TurnCompleteCondition extends Condition {
      private final Bot bot;

      public TurnCompleteCondition(Bot bot) {
        this.bot = bot;
      }

      public boolean test() {
        return bot.getTurnRemaining() == 0;
      }
    }
  }

    Here is another example using the same condition using a lambda expression instead of a (reusable) class: 

    
  public class MyBot extends Bot {
    public void run() {
      while (isRunning()) {
        ...
        setTurnRight(90);
        waitFor(new Condition(() -> getTurnRemaining() == 0));
        ...
      }
    }

      • Condition

        public Condition​(java.util.concurrent.Callable<java.lang.Boolean> callable)
        Constructor for initializing a new instance of the Condition class.
        Parameters:

        public Condition​(java.lang.String name,
                 java.util.concurrent.Callable<java.lang.Boolean> callable)
        Constructor for initializing a new instance of the Condition class.
        Parameters:
        name - is the name of the condition used for identifying a specific condition between multiple conditions with the IBaseBot.onCustomEvent(dev.robocode.tankroyale.botapi.events.CustomEvent) event handler.

    • Method Detail

      • test

        public boolean test()
        You can choose to override this method to let the game use it for testing your condition each turn. Alternatively, you can use the one of the constructors that take a Callable instead.
        Returns:
        true if the condition is met; false otherwise.
