Follow the instructions in COMPILE.md. Building the framework separately is not neccesary!

In order to use the Autoref, run the previously built autoref.

The program receives the Protobuf data via network from SSL-Vision and the Refbox.

Referee decisions will be printed on the log textbox below the playing field. Make sure to select the right team sides by clicking the 'Flip sides'-button in the upper left corner. This cannot be automated because this information is not provided by SSL-Vision.

In case you see "Autoref disabled" inside the green box, you probably moved the autorefs directory after building. You then have to select the file "autoref/init.lua" manually.

The autoref detects the following rule infractions:

• Collisions between robots
• Shooting faster than 8 m/s
• Multiple defenders
• Ball out of field

Game rules are implemented as Lua scripts and live in the 'autoref' directory. If you want to test them with a simulated game, you can use the framework and load autoref/init.lua as a yellow strategy.

Feedback regarding the implementation of rules is highly welcome, especially in the form of pull requests!

The Plotter can be started by clicking its button in the top bar. It is particularly handy for observing the ball speed over time, but can be used to display all kind of information which is provided by the Tracking.

The buttons in the green (or red, when crashing) box are responsible for selecting a strategy script. In the main framework, it is used to select game strategies which control robots. The Autoref has only one entrypoint (main). It is however possible to define further entrypoints that can be used to test only a certain behavior etc. The reload button on the right can be used to restart the AI. The autoref will reload automatically if it crashes.

In order to highlight certain points of interest on the field, you can define visualizations in the referee scripts by using the module in base/vis.lua. One example can be found in the function Referee.illustrateRefereeStates inside base/referee.lua. You can toggle them in the Visualizations-widget.

You can rotate and flip the field by right-clicking into it and select the appropriate action.

You can record games with the red button in the top bar. Log files will be saved in the directory from where the Autoref was started. These can be played with the logplayer, which is part of the framework.
