A standalone simulator for alice that behaves like a hardware robot. Your code won't even notice it's a simulator. You can even use a dedicated server/pc for the simulator that is not the machine on which your ai runs.
First install dependencies see below
Open a commandline in a folder where you want to have this project(-workspace).
Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/penguinmenac3/alice-simulator.gitIn the bash go to the directory where you cloned alice-simulator.
./simulate_with_vis.shWARNING: It is highly recommended to use ubuntu!
Run the simulate_with_vis_python36.bat (for example by double clicking it).
simulate_with_vis_python36.batOr if you chose to install python27...
simulate_with_vis_python27.batUpdate and upgrade your system.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgradeInstall git, python, pip and python-dev.
sudo apt-get install git python python-pip python-dev libopencv-dev python-opencvpip install pillow scipyIf the pip install fails you may need to rerun it using sudo.
WARNING: It is highly recommended to use ubuntu!
Download and install the most recent version of anaconda python37 for windows. (Python27 works too.)
https://www.continuum.io/downloads#windows
Download and install git.
Download opencv for python and copy the whl into the home folder.
python27 If the link is broken, search for something like "opencv_python‑3.1.0‑cp27‑cp27m‑win_amd64.whl" on that site.
python36 If the link is broken, search for something like "opencv_python-3.3.0+contrib-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl" on that site.
If the files have different names than those above by now, you need to rename them to match the names above (since the installer depends on those names).
Now install all the dependencies automatically.
install_python36.batIf you want to stick with python27 for some reason use this instead.
install_python27.bat
