How to write an AI

The type of programs that control tanks is Automaton DashBoard Command. DashBoard is a structure that contains a robot tank's view of the world. Command is an instruction the AI wants its controlled tank to execute in a given time step.

Stateless AI

Write a step function of type DashBoard -> Command; create an Automaton from it by passing this function as an input to the 'pure' function.

Stateful AI

Write a step function of type DashBoard -> STATETYPE -> (Command,STATETYPE); which returns the command to execute and the next state given the input DashBoard and state in the current time step. Create an Automaton from this function using the function hiddenState: hiddenState initial_state your_step_function.
