Readme
Kessler is a simulation environment loosely modeled after our internal project PsiBee and the external project Fuzzy Asteroids. The game has ships that shoot bullets at asteroids to gain score. Ships can collide with asteroids and lose lives. If the ship runs out of lives, the game terminates. In multi-ship scenarios, ships can collide with each other as well, but cannot shoot each other.
Kessler can be built as python extension for install using pip, or used as a local package by copying the
src/kessler_game directory to your project. Wheels are provided in
releases for install using:
pip install <path to kessler_game-#.#.#-py3-none-any.whl>
Kessler has two primary graphics modules. The first uses Python's Tkinter UI library to display the game. The second utilizes a separate executable process called kessler_graphics made in Unreal Engine 5. Data is sent to the kessler_graphics instance using UDP protocol on a local machine.
Under kessler_graphics is an Unreal Engine 5 project for receiving simulation data from the Kessler Python process and displaying it in a 3d environment. To contribute to the UE5 project, you will need to do the following.
kessler_graphics.uproject under the kessler_graphics directory and select "Generate Visual Studio Project Files" from the context menukessler_graphics.uproject, and select "Yes" if prompted to rebuild engine modulesDocumentation is not yet available for Kessler. If you would like to contribute to documentation, check out CONTRIBUTING.md for info on how to get started
