[robocup-nao] Game Controller

[Tekin Mericli]

Hi Elad,

One comment about the GameController software: we have been developing a
unified game controller to be used both in the Standard Platform League and
the Humanoid League. Latest version of the software is available here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/robocupgc/

One difference from the previous version is that if you want to run it for
the SPL you need to pass the -spl parameter before the team numbers; that
is:

-spl 1 2

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers,

Tekin
