Dev setup

The following is how to setup a development environment for this project, NOT how to create a bot using this interface!

• Ensure Python 3.11+ is installed
• Create a virtual Python environment
  • python3 -m venv venv
• Activate the virtual environment
  • Windows: venv\Scripts\activate.bat
  • Linux: source venv/bin/activate
• Install the package
  • pip install --editable .
  • This will install the package in editable mode, meaning you can make changes to the code and they will be reflected in the installed package without having to run the command again

This project is formatted using Black.

Testing

• You can test launching a match with python tests/runner.py

Building

• You can build the package with python -m build
  • Note: You might have to pip install -U build first
  • rlbot-5.0.0-py3-none-any.whl and rlbot-5.0.0.tar.gz will be created in the dist folder
