One Request?

Just wondering if it can be done so it can be run from the command line or something? and without graphics? It could be something really simple like gdarena -nographics gdarenaxxx.ini output.txt So you can specify the ini file it uses and a file it just writes the output to then automatically quits. I mean, As far as I see it would be simple just to get a commandline switch for it to choose an ini file, and no graphics is just a quuestion of ignoring the graphics loop! or even just adding a couple of precompiler switches to miss out graphics or something on a seperate build. just my thoughts..

well sly what if you''re bot is basically finished and you''re just tweaking a few numbers or something equally arbitrary, in that case all you''re really worried about is the final outcome, i think the nographics parameter is a really good idea, like they said even if it doesn''t speed it up, the lowered processing power would be nice.

Maybe he should just release the source code so you can make whatever changes you want...

Wait. Forget the sarcasm. It would make teaching my nueral nets a hell of a lot easier if I could just muck about in the arena code. :D
