Halite Home

Cannot simulate game? [Not a Bug, Solved]

#1

I extracted the starter package (python) and placed halite.exe within the folder. When I run runGame.bat, I get:
python MyBot.py
python RandomBot.py

Nothing else happens. The .hlt file does not show up in the folder. I don't know what I'm missing.

#2

If you just type "python" in the command line, does it find the python executable?
If not, you have to make sure that Python is installed and added to the path.

#3

Python wasn't in the path. Thanks.

#4

What do you mean type "python" in the command line? I have the same problem but how do I make sure if Python is installed and added to the path?

#5

Open up command prompt and type in 'python' without quotes. If python doesn't run, reinstall python and make sure that the option to add python to PATH is checked.
