A high performance Python interface for communicating with RLBot v5.

Making a bot with this interface

See this video tutorial on YouTube for a quick start guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLqvodQ942A

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
