BuildAndRun

Building an running the Webracer project

1. Using Docker and the provided Dockerfile

   • Install docker if not done yet: https://docs.docker.com/installation/
   • Download the Webracer Dockerfile to an empty directory: https://github.com/slintes/Webracer/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile
   • Cd to that directory and run "docker build -t webracer ." for creating a docker image which contains everything to run Webracer. The image is tagged with the name "webracer".
   • Start the just created image with "docker run -p 8080:8080 -i -t webracer /bin/bash". Feel free to change the first portnumber to your need, the Webracer itself will listen on port 8080.
   • Start Webracer with "cd Webracer && java -jar repoOsgi/WebracerStarter.jar &"
   • If you need to rebuild Webracer you can do it with "cd Webracer && ./gradlew install"

2. Manually

   • Install Java 8 SDK if not done yet: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
   • Clone the Webracer repository https://github.com/slintes/Webracer
   • In the Webracer root directory run "./gradlew install" for building and installing the needed jars.
   • Start Webracer with "java -jar repoOsgi/WebracerStarter.jar &". It will listen on port 8080.

Configuration

There are 2 places where it is possible to change the behaviour of Webracer:

1. variables.js in WebracerWeb: here you can change speeds, steering angles and the number of laps
2. RaceControl.java in WebracerRace: here you can change the timeouts
   In both cases you need to rebuild and restart Webracer
