Installing PyBot

  1. Extract this entire zip file to your DarwinBotsII folder. PyBot.bat and the PyBot folder go in the same folder as the Darwin Bots exe. You need a version of Python installed, and will need to change PyBot.bat and touchall.bat to call python in your python folder (or, if you have python 2.5 installed in c:\python25, you won't need to change them).
  2. Look at the sample .pyr files in the 'PyBot\examples' folder, and/or read the manual (which is Manual.html in the PyBot folder).
  3. Write some .pyr bots of your own and stick 'em in the DarwinBots 'Robots' folder (not the PyBot/Robots folder).
  4. Run PyBot.Bat to compile those .pyr scripts into .txt bot scripts. You can also run touchall.bat to 'touch' all the .pyr files in your bots folder, updating their timestamp to the current time - this means that the next time you run PyBot, it will recompile every .pyr file in your bots folder.
