The Pelita tournament

Setup

All configuration is done with a yaml file:

---
location: Pelipolis
date: 2525
speak: false
seed: null
bonusmatch: True

teams:
  - spec: RandomPlayer
    members:
      - "Member One"
  - spec: StoppingPlayer
    members:
      - "I stop"
  - spec: SmartRandomPlayer
    members:
      - "I am smart"
  - spec: FoodEatingPlayer
    members:
      - "no-one"
    id: group3

Apart from additional information regarding the event, the file allows for some basic configuration, such as the initial seed or whether there is supposed to be a final bonusmatch.

The most important part, of course, is the definition of the different teams. Each entry in the teams list is enumerated and internally referenced to by either its index or its id. The id parameter can therefore be used to distinguish between a student_group0 and tutor_group2, for example. This is mainly used when outputting the members list.

The spec is the usual team specification that is also used on the pelita command line. It is usually the path to the module (or team factory) where the participants Player is defined. StoppingPlayer or ../group3/group_player:team2 are therefore possible.

Running

Given a tournament.yaml file, a tournament can be started as

pelita-tournament --config tournament.yaml --rounds 300

Speech synthesis

Spoken output can be activated with the command line flag --speak and defaults to /usr/bin/flite. Alternative outputs can be specified with the --speaker flag, which can be any callable expression that expects a file parameter (containing the text) as last argument.

An example using OS X’s say:

pelita-tournament --config tournament.yaml --speak --speaker "/usr/bin/say -v 'Good News' -f"
