Which is the best bot?
Against humans and other brains alike, aIndy has been the best since its introduction in 1995. Ladmo is catching up (no wonder since Will is writing it for his computer science Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon University). Although bots are good sparring partners for newbies, most experienced players can beat 2 allied bots easily, even without taking unfair advantage of the bots’ weaknesses. To maximize the bots’ performance, use maps that are wide open without any mazes or weird swampy terrain. Bases should be safe rather than spiked initially. When starting the game, make sure to allow bots and also give them an advantage. Make sure the bots are allied with each other and that they have enough CPU resources. Problems with Indy or aIndy If you can’t get (a)Indy to work, because when you select it from the menu nothing happens, it’s because You haven’t increased the memory size. (a)Indy takes memory form the bolo application heap. If there is not enough memory then Bolo will not load the brain
