Hi,

we have uploaded a preliminary version of the GameController 2017 to the Downloads page of the SPL website, in this case for the RoboCup German Open.

It is necessary to recompile the code with the updated versions of the header files provided with the GameController.

The changes are:

1. The new rules increase the size of a coach message from 80 bytes to 250 bytes. Due to memory alignment requirements, this increase is actually from 81 bytes to 253 bytes. Coach messages can now contain binary data and they are accepted once a second.

2. During the penalty shootout, the robots performing an individual attempt can be selected, while all other robots are substitutes, i.e. penalized. In addition, each attempt only lasts 45 seconds.

3. The GameController now also records the team communication. Thereby, team communication logs of all games should be available after a competition. The TeamCommunicationMonitor will only record logs if no GameController is running on the same machine.

4. The GameStateVisualizer was removed. It is now just a mode of the TeamCommunicationMonitor. With "java -jar TeamCommunicationMonitor.jar --gsv", the TeamCommunicationMonitor is started in game state visualizer mode. In this mode, the 3D field with the visualized team communication is shown together with the logos of the teams playing, the score, the current state, and the primary and secondary clocks.

5. The "SPL Drop-in" competition was removed. Instead, there is now the "SPL Mixed Team" tournament. For now, this is just the same as the normal "SPL" competition, but with 6 vs. 6 games.


Best regards
