Haskell Binding to TORCS

requires

• torcs 1.3.4 (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/torcs/torcs-1.3.4.tar.bz2?download)
• scr-server 2.1 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/cig/files/SCR%20Championship/Server%20Linux/)

scr-server will only work with 1.3.4, until that is updated you must use exactly torcs 1.3.4

on Ubunutu 16.04, you may need to comment out line 70 in src/modules/simu/simuv2/simu.cpp

Usage

To install, go to the top level directory, and run 'cabal install'. You only need to do 'cabal install' the first time, or whenever you change the cabal file. Later on, just 'cabal repl' is fine.

See the examples folder for how to program a controller.

You can load up the examples and run them with 'cabal repl' on the top directory. This will load TORCS.hs, which loads a few examples that can be connected to TORCS. As an example, first open TORCS to a quick race and set the player to src_server1. Then on the command line run:

$> cabal repl
ghci> :l Examples/Simple.hs
ghci> main

TODO

• write controller for basic platoon
• build and ship to hackage
